Description
Back in October 2022, former New York Giants football player Blake Martinez sold his CGC 9.5 graded Pikachu Illustrator in an auction for $672,000, making it one of the first non-PSA graded copies of the card known to exist
In 1999 however, a Pikachu from the Pokmon Snap Nintendo 64 competition was printed in the Japanese Corocoro magazine, and it had a black camera stamp on the artwork
My personal favourite is Espeon VMAX
Ripping on launch is the fun play, buying singles on launch day is the expensive one
If a creature you control has a mana ability with in the cost, activating that ability while casting a spell with convoke will result in the creature being tapped before you pay the spell's costs
Beyond that, it taps for colorless, or you can pay 1 life to generate one mana of any color, making it a flexible piece in almost any deck
