June 23 (UPI) -
- An extremely rare Pokemon card, thought to be one of only seven ever pro- duced, is up for auction online and experts said it could sell for up to $100,000.
The Pokemon Super Secret Battle No. 1 Trainer card, being sold by Heritage Auctions, is billed by the auction house as the "holy grail" of col- lectible cards and
its condition was rated a perfect 10 by experts at PSA Card.
The card is one of seven that were distributed to winners of regional tourna- ments in Japan in 1999, granting them entry into the finals in Tokyo.
"The Pokemon Card Game Official Tournament's champion is rec- ognized here, and this honor is praised. By pre- senting this card,
you may gain preferential entry into the Secret Super Battle," the card reads in Japanese.
Heritage Auctions said the card is "perhaps the most sought-after card, and arguably one of the rarest cards in the entire Pokemon Trading Card Game."
Experts said the card could sell for up to $100,000. The auction ends July 8.
