The most valuable Legendary Collection card by confirmed sales at Fanatics Collect and Goldin is the 2002 reverse holo Pikachu #86: a PSA 10 sold for $780,000 after 32 bids in a Fanatics Collect weekly auction on September 27, 2026. A PSA 10 of the same card sold for $9,200 as a Buy Now in April 2025, per Fanatics Collect's sold items records. Reverse holos lead this set: every ranked sale below is a reverse holo copy, even for cards whose regular holo also sells for six figures.

Current as of October 19, 2026. Sales are from Fanatics Collect's sold records, confirmed on each lot page that is still online, and Goldin lot records. Auction prices include buyer's premium. Only single cards with sales marked paid (Fanatics Collect) or sold (Goldin) are ranked, so multi-card lots and sealed product are left out. Fanatics dates are auction close dates in Pacific time, so lot pages can show the next day. Fanatics Collect lot pages show a result as sold even when its sold records still list it as unpaid.

Results Waiting on Payment

Fanatics Collect's sold items records mark some results as unpaid (the lot page still says sold), and those can fall through. On October 19, 2026 these big Legendary Collection results were still unpaid, so none is ranked:

  • Mewtwo #29, reverse holo, PSA 10: $360,000 on October 11 and $384,000 on October 18, 2026. If the $384,000 result is paid, Mewtwo ties for #4. The best paid Mewtwo is a CGC Pristine 10 at $114,000 on October 4, 2026
  • Dark Dragonite #5, reverse holo, PSA 10: $384,000 on October 18, 2026. If it is paid, Dark Dragonite also ties for #4. The best paid Dark Dragonite is a holo PSA 10 at $84,000 on August 23, 2026

  • Magikarp #52, reverse holo, PSA 10: $288,000 on October 4, 2026. If it is paid, Magikarp ranks #5. The best paid Magikarp is a reverse holo PSA 10 at $28,800 on May 31, 2026

Factory-sealed booster case (6 boxes): $620,000 at Goldin in February 2026.
