True to what the name would suggest, the Pokmon Illustrator Card was originally awarded to winners of the first ever "Pokmon Card Game Illust Artist Contest" in 1997, Japanese manga anthology CoroCoro Comic (which still publishes the Pocket Monsters title to this very day!) invited its readers to submit drawings of their favorite Pokmon for a chance to be featured as illustrations on actual trading cards

Heritage Auctions expects the card to bring in at least $350,000 USD by the time its auction ends on January 14, coming close to the record-setting card sold earlier this month
