The 1999 Pokémon English Base Set Shadowless 1st Edition Booster Box was sold for $432,000 (£323,000) this month, beating the previous record holder that was auctioned off for $408,000 (£305,000) by Heritage Auctions.Īccording to PWCC Marketplace, the auction company responsible for managing the record-breaking booster box, it fetched such a high price thanks to it being wrapped in unblemished cellophane, with almost no damage done to the box’s edges. A Pokémon 1st Edition booster box from 1999 has set a new record after being sold at the highest price ever for a sealed box of Pokémon cards at an auction.
