THE NEW OWNER IS A FAMILIAR NAME

The new owner of the record-breaking card is A.J. Scaramucci, son of Anthony Scaramucci, one of the well-known figures in American politics. Scaramucci, son of Donald Trump's former communications director, has acquired one of the most valuable pieces in the world of collectibles with this move. Scaramucci became the new owner of the card by paying $16.5 million, which is 721,000,000 TL.

SIGNED BY ATSUKO NISHIDA

The card's immense value is primarily due to it being designed by Atsuko Nishida, the original creator of Pikachu. This special design, which excites collectors with its rarity, is now a Guinness-certified legend as the most expensive card in the world.
