#3: English Base Set First Edition cards – CAD 8,411

The first English Pokemon cards were released in 1997. These cards have a “1st edition” symbol under the picture. Printed by Wizards of the Coast, it was difficult to pull a holographic card in a booster pack of 11 cards. The most famous one in the set is Charizard. As protector sleeves was not a big thing back then, and many children took the cards to school, many of the existing First edition cards are not in mint condition. Thus, this makes mint condition first edition base set Pokemon holographic cards extremely valuable and rare. For Canadians and Americans, these are the cards that you're likely to find under your bed.
