Position 2: Charizard Blue Back
- Grade: PSA 10
- Sold: January 2021
- Value: 471,264 euros
This special Charizard could be drawn from gum packs in 1997. It does not belong to the official Pokémon trading card game at all, but is a special edition by Topsun that ran parallel to the official TCG. The special aspect of the cards was their layout. Especially the blue back made it clear that the card does not belong to the TCG.
At an auction, the card fetched an astonishing sum of around 493,000 US dollars. The high price is largely due to the charm of the independent trading card game, as the layout, printing errors, and mislabeling made the cards interesting specimens.
