    As far as I know the rarest card in existence is Prerelease Raichu.

    To my knowledge there are only 4 currently in existence, and most people deny they even exist.

    I cant ever deny those were ever made now, but I would really question if WOTC or PUI would authenticate em as being real. Kinda like money and coins being legal tender and all. But I mean has any of us seen a pre-release raichu?

    The ones in the Japanese Catalogue (back in 1999 I believe...)
    The trophy Pikachu Gold, Silver, Bronze (3 copies in the world)
    The Zapdos, Moltres, Articuno of Phone card size (3 copies in the world)
    The illustrated Pikachu (the one Pikachu holding a pen drawing, 2 copies in world or something?)
    The Mew with a logo on the right (Mever seen anywhere! even ebay)
    The executator special ones (Never seen anywhere! even ebay)
    The snap prize card (veries cards only 1 copy in the world)
    The university Magikarp (? Copies)
    The Tropical wind (2 Japanese versions, ? copies in the world)
    Victory Ring
    Victory Energy

    Tropical Wind is kinda more common though, I think a good 10 of em exist worldwide could be slightly less. the Illustrator card (had a rare chance to own one few years back) I think has about a good 100 copies world wide, the story behind illustrator Pikachu ties in with the Vending Sheets they had, I believe most of the vending cards if not all were all part of a contest, artist would draw the pokemon and the winners would recieve the illustrator card and have their picture put on a pokemon cards, yet the illustrator may seem to be the rarest one out of all thats listed, but it aint. I think though the Gold Pikachu Trophy might actually be the rarest, but theirs disputes about it on all of it though.

    But going back I got this card some time ago, it appears to be a Vending Series Mewtwo but different, Japanese now of course, with symbols on its body and all and wirting at the bottom of the card, its actually the same picture and all but totally different from the vending series card itself, anyone got any info on this? I havent really seen many of those in existence either, not even on ebay.

    I have put the cards I was talking about in following link:

    Youtube it. Most of the rare cards are in Japanese text, and I think there is one card you get by buying a car.

    LOYALemerald, your links are still broken for me. Could you upload them to some image host such as [a]www.rapidfiles.net[/a] or [a]www.imageshack.us[/a]? That way, I'm pretty sure the URL:s will be correct.

    Anyways, thanks for trying to help :)

    • well i dont play the tgc for 5 years but accounting that 10 years have past since base set was launched i think that base set 1st edition charizard has had to become much rarer (officially, it was worth 200€ at the time, so imagine now...

    Actually,the old 1st editions are very rare...
    They cost, i think.. 23,000 dollars!!(ive seen it at ebay)they increased prices..
    WOW! Who spend $23,000? on which? The most expensive spending I've seen on 1 card is US$1000 only!

    Back in 2000 the three pikachu trophy cards went for about 22,100 on ebay. The cyber stein is a yugioh shoenen jump championship card. It at first did go for about 23,000+ but the person who won it backed out. When it was relisted I think only went for a couple of thousand not sure though.

    LOYALemerald has already stated the rarest cards, it seems; so assuming you're going to want to actually own a few rare cards, I'm going to say the Mew promo card, since it could only be acquired as a single card from various newsagents. Sold for £2 at the time of release but of course that was only around the time of the first movie, which was about nine years ago. Unless people have been better than me at keeping these than I have, it's likely very hard to get.

    • Well, I believe it'd be one of the original 151.
    Btw. I have the 1st base 151 + Ancient Mew :P
    I think the hardest to get out of that set was Charizard or Blastoise
    So it's probably one of them

    Technically, the rarest card in existance, at least in Japan, is Umbreon "star", which was eventually released in POP Series 7 over here. They were only ever printed whenever they were needed, which was VERY rarely. As such, the English ones often go for more than $50, but the Japanese ones...I remember one going for $860 and one for just over $700. Nuff said.

    Although the no-HP Dark Persian card is also exceedingly rare.
