TAG

This Pokémon Illustrator is not only one of the rarest cards in existence but also among the cleanest in condition, as evidenced by the TAG Digital Image and Grading Report (DIG). This card's centering measured precisely 54.8/45.1 LR x 45.1/51.8 TB, which is within the 55/45 Gem Mint industry standard. The card received a total TAG Score of 955 (Gem Mint 10) on the 1000 point scale, as determined by our multi-patented TAG technology. It is currently the RANK 1, making it the CROWN GEM, TAG Illustrator. 🎁 Repost/Like for a chance to win a TAG 10 Pokémon mystery slab! ✨ + Save on your first TAG Grading submission by signing up here: taggrading.com/signup With only 39 copies officially distributed, this card was crafted as the prize for the CoroCoro Comic Illustration Contest held in 1997/98. In July 2021, a similar Gem Mint 10 Pokémon Illustrator (graded by another third-party grader) set a world record as the most expensive Pokémon card ever sold/traded (deal value est. $5.275 million.) The card artwork of Pikachu holding a paintbrush was done by none other than the creator of Pikachu, Atsuko Nishida. The Katakana characters have been inscribed along side the other card data on the top of the transparent TAG slab.
