10 That Sold For Eye-Popping Prices

The ongoing demand for rare and valuable Pokémon cards has led to a frenzy out there, as people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on unopened boxes and rare cards.

As a result of all this, some retail stores started suspending the sale of Pokémon cards altogether. It’s wild times, for sure.
