Who'd have thought that these cards from the cult Japanese role-playing games and cartoons would have developed into such collectible pieces? While up to 39 of them were released, only 10 of them are now graded in top condition. Their enduring popularity saw this mint example realize an awesome sum of $54,970 (£42.5k) at Heritage Auctions in 2016.
