In 1996, the Pokémon trading card game launched in Japan, just months after the release of the Pokémon Red and Green games for Nintendo's Game Boy. Now, 28 years and 52.9 billion cards later, the Pokémon trading card game continues to captivate players and collectors alike.

Magic’s most valuable card, the Black Lotus, is up for auction again. The Gem Mint 10-graded card is signed by the artist and could easily go for more than $500,000.
