So high in fact that a Pikachu Illustrator card sold for $5,275,000 this month, and another card, the iconic 1st Edition Base Set Charizard, an astounding $420,000 just last week.
Worth noting, this doesn’t take into account that since the pandemic hit in March of 2020, The Pokemon Company has been printing cards non-stop as the demand for the hobby has reached dizzyingly high levels. As of May 2019, the last time The Pokemon Company released earnings figures, Pokemon was a cool $20 billion clear of the second largest franchise, Hello Kitty ($88.5 billion in revenue since its release in 1974). It may come as a surprise to some that Pokemon is the biggest media franchise ever created.īigger than Mickey Mouse, Star Wars, Mario, Harry Potter, you name it - it’s bigger than all of them - and really, it’s not even close.
