Extremely rare Pokemon Snap TCG variants of the series' original starter cards – Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur – recently sold for over $70,000 apiece, beating previous auction records by some distance.
The Collectibles Guru flagged the auctions on Twitter (X) over the weekend, and I only learned this in the first place because the post was shared by the official account for the PSA, which graded the cards in question: a 7 for Charmander, 8 for Squirtle, and a near-perfect 9 for Bulbasaur. All three auctions were conducted via Goldin, which is widely known for trading in sports cards and paraphernalia, and closed on November 18, 2023 after some eye-watering bidding wars.
