Goldin Auctions states they just sold an SGC Gold Label Pristine 10 1 of 1 example of the Charizard for nearly $400,000 in their December Holiday Auction. While the card alone can sell for a ridiculous amount, booster box prices have also seen their value rise
Im a huge fan of stacking +1/+1 counters on my creatures, and they would work together nicely
Bidding started at just $75K, and with 34 bids, the card sold for $900K
In addition, he has contributed artwork to spin-off Pokmon video games such as Pokmon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky, Pokmon Ranger: Guardian Signs, and Pokmon Ranger: Shadows of Almia
And to be honest, I just found it quite enjoyable to expand my collection continuously, and don't consider it to be monetised in an overly blatant way, nor disturbing in the way it's structured
