Pikachu vs MTG's Black Lotus. A PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator sold for $16,492,000, the auction record for any trading card. A PSA 10 Alpha Black Lotus sold for $2,208,200. I own a card shop, and I get it: Magic players know Black Lotus, but kids who have never touched a trading card know Pikachu, and so do their parents. Would you rather own the Pikachu Illustrator or an Alpha Black Lotus? #mtg #pokemoncards #blacklotus This video is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.
