In recent years, we've seen some Pokémon cards sold for hundreds of thousands, so it's not surprising to see that an extremely rare card featuring Pokémon Company stalwart Twsunekazu Ishihara has sold for as insane amount of price.

The Pokémon promo card, sold by Goldin Auctions, doesn't feature a Pocket Monster; it features the art of Ishihara along with some overpowered abilities. In 2017, this was given only to Pokémon Company employees for the president's 60th birthday.
The official name of the promo card is "2017 P.M. SM Black Star #TPCi01 Tsunekazu Ishihara Signed Pokemon GX Promo Card". Here's the card description:

After receiving 31 bids, the card was sold wth the final bidding price of $247,230.00.
Last October, rap artist Logic bought an extremely rare Pokémon card for $220,000.
