Metal Pokemon cards are the latest trend surrounding the super-popular TCG. Gold-plated cards are especially sought-after. Whether it’s the classic gold cards from 1999 or third-party tributes being sold on Wish and other places, there’s a big buzz surrounding gold Pokemon cards. Here’s the need-to-know info on what metal Pokemon cards are, how much they are worth, and how to go about buying them.
What are metal Pokemon cards?
Metal Pokemon cards are unofficial Pokemon cards that are covered in a gold-colored substance.
The most well-known metal Pokemon cards are the ones included with meals at Burger King in 1999. These promoted the first Pokemon movie. There were six in total with Charizard, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Poliwhirl, Mewtwo, and Togepi all featured.
Other metal Pokemon cards include those being sold on Etsy, Wish, and other marketplaces. These are fanmade products that people can request.
What are metal Pokemon cards worth?
Metal Pokemon cards sell for between $20-50.
The above price is for the Burger King gold Pokemon cards. While they are now over 22 years old, a lot of them were produced, lowering their rarity and value.
Other metal Pokemon cards can sell for a lot more. For example, this gold Pikachu sold for a whopping $29,000. It sold for such a high price because the card was a limited edition collaboration between Nintendo and Japanese jeweler Ginza Tanaka.
Where to buy metal Pokemon cards
Metal Pokemon cards can be bought from Ebay, Wish, and Etsy.
For the official Burger King gold cards, Ebay is your best bet. For fanmade cards, both Wish and Etsy have some interesting options.
