No, this Pokémon card isn’t made of solid gold, but it is however valued at $60,000. Unfortunately, the card, “Trainer No. 3,” sold by eBay user Pokemonplace and insured for $50,000 before being shipped via USPS, went missing while in transit to its new owner. Why is this card so precious? It was an exclusive card gifted to the third-place finisher of a Japanese event in 1999, making it one of the rarest Pokémon cards ever. Pokemonplace is offering a $1,000 reward for anyone who that can successfully locate the card and send it to the original buyer safely.
This card was sold by Pokemonplace and was shipped via USPS to the Dubai-based courier Aramex, who would then be responsible for delivering its recipient, all covered by a $50,000 insurance policy, the highest available for this type of package. Now here’s where things get a bit muddy, as Aramex told Pokemonplace that the card was never received, but the tracking information provided shows a receipt signature from the courier. However, the company said the signature was for a bulk package, and since it was signed for, Pokemonplace cannot claim the insurance policy from USPS.
