What This List Contains

If you’re like me, I’m always looking for my next Pokemon card investment – that has the potential to grow in value.

So it makes sense to research cards that have recently sold for big bucks.

This is exactly what the list below gives you.

I’ve spent hours researching sales and combining data from the top auction houses, as well as eBay.

Hopefully this gives you a really useful base to find raw versions of the cards, that you can potentially get graded. Or maybe even graded versions that you find good deals on.

Enjoy, and use it wisely!
