  1. 1

    Lugia

    Wizards of the CoastNeo Genesis9/1112000Rare Holo

    Highest recorded sale $244,500 · PSA 10 · Oct 15, 2026

    $700

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $192,000

    Lugia spreads its wings across a starry holofoil background, its pale body curling diagonally through the frame with a soft glow around the outline, art by Hironobu Yoshida. As the headline holo of Neo Genesis, the set that opened the door to the Johto generation, this Lugia remains one of the most sought cards of the early era, and clean, well-centered copies are tough to find.

  2. 2

    Blaine's Charizard

    Wizards of the CoastGym Challenge2/1322000Rare Holo

    $675

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $7,950

    Blaine's Charizard rears back with its head thrown skyward and jaws wide open, wings spread behind it against a starry holofoil backdrop, rendered in the soft, painterly style of art by Ken Sugimori. As a Rare Holo from Gym Challenge, it pairs the most sought-after Pokémon of the era with a Gym Leader's owner card, which keeps it high on Charizard collectors' lists.

  3. 3

    Sabrina's Gengar

    Wizards of the CoastGym Heroes14/1322000Rare Holo

    Highest recorded sale $132,000 · PSA 10 · Oct 1, 2026

    $442

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $30,600

    Sabrina's Gengar floats against a starry cosmos holo, grinning wide with red eyes, painted in soft watercolor tones that make its purple body look almost ghostly, art by Ken Sugimori. As a Rare Holo from Gym Heroes, it pairs one of the most loved Ghost-type Pokémon with Sabrina's eerie theme, and the sparkling starfield foil makes it a favorite among Gym series collectors.

  4. 4

    Charizard

    Wizards of the CoastBase Set 24/1302000Rare Holo

    $401

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $57,600

    Charizard rears up against a sparkling holofoil starfield, wings spread wide and mouth open in a roar as a flame flickers at its tail, art by Mitsuhiro Arita. This Base Set 2 reprint carries the same classic artwork collectors know from the original Base Set, with the set's own symbol beside the art, making it a more approachable way to own the most sought-after Pokémon of the early Wizards era.

  5. 5

    Rocket's Mewtwo

    Wizards of the CoastGym Challenge14/1322000Rare Holo

    $300

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $7,000

    Rocket's Mewtwo stands in a calm side profile against a dark, speckled holo backdrop, gathering a wisp of white psychic energy in its hand while its long tail curls behind it. Art by Shin-ichi Yoshida keeps the scene simple and moody. Collectors chase it for Mewtwo's enduring pull, the Team Rocket emblem with Giovanni in the corner, and its place among the Gym Challenge holos.

  6. 6

    Dark Charizard

    Wizards of the CoastTeam Rocket4/822000Rare Holo

    $289

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $13,200

    Dark Charizard looms against a starry holofoil night sky, wings spread wide and head turned with a narrow, menacing glare, its tail flame trailing over its shoulder. Art by Ken Sugimori gives the card a moody, painted look that sets it apart from the brighter Base series Charizard. As the Rare Holo headliner of Team Rocket, it remains a favorite for fans of the villainous dark Pokémon era.

  7. 7

    Erika's Venusaur

    Wizards of the CoastGym Challenge4/1322000Rare Holo

    $220

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $10,767

    Erika's Venusaur sits low and heavy on the right of the frame, its pink-petaled flower and broad fronds spread over a grinning blue body, set against the starry cosmos holofoil of the Gym era. Art by Ken Sugimori gives it that clean, classic look fans of the original games love. As a Rare Holo from Gym Challenge tied to Erika, it draws both Venusaur fans and Gym series completists.

  8. 8

    Typhlosion

    Wizards of the CoastNeo Genesis17/1112000Rare Holo

    $212

    Ungraded

    Typhlosion stands with its back half turned, flames bursting from its neck as it glances over its shoulder against a dark, ember-speckled forest, the holofoil making those sparks shimmer. Art by Shin-ichi Yoshida, it gives the final Johto fire starter a moody, painterly feel. As a Rare Holo from Neo Genesis, the set that introduced the second generation, it remains a favorite for starter fans and vintage collectors alike.

  9. 9

    Sabrina's Gengar

    Wizards of the CoastGym Challenge29/1322000Rare

    $204

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $4,725

    Sabrina's Gengar fills the frame with a looming, grinning Gengar, red eyes narrowed, set against a huge mottled full moon in a simple, spooky composition with art by Ken Sugimori. Gengar has one of the most devoted fan bases among Ghost types, and this non-holo Rare from Gym Challenge ties it to Sabrina, a favorite Gym Leader, making it a natural pick for vintage collectors.

  10. 10

    Dark Blastoise

    Wizards of the CoastTeam Rocket3/822000Rare Holo

    $184

    Ungraded

    PSA 10 $14,000

    Dark Blastoise from Team Rocket shows the turtle in a scowling, forward-leaning stance, one cannon thrust straight at you while it braces on a rocky ledge against a starry holo backdrop. Art by Mitsuhiro Arita gives the familiar starter a meaner, rougher edge. Collectors chase it as a holo from the set that introduced the Dark Pokémon, and the first edition stamp here adds extra appeal.
