As part of our Pokémon 30th Anniversary celebrations, Stanley Gibbons Baldwin’s presents the Elite Pokémon Illustrator Auction.&nbsp;This historic event will take place on Saturday, 14th March 2026, bringing over £2.5m worth of the world's finest Pokémon TCG assets to the heart of London. Headlining the auction is the legendary PSA 9 Pokémon "Pikachu" Illustrator CoroCoro Comics Promo, estimated at £1.1m. Believed to be one of only 39 copies in existence - and one of only eight to carry a PSA 9 grade - this card is the ultimate symbol of the market's explosive prestige.

To accompany this "Holy Grail," we are proud to offer:&nbsp;PSA 10 1st Edition Base Set Charizard (Reserve: £400,000)&nbsp;Complete 1st Edition Base Set (PSA 10) – All 102 original cards, representing the absolute pinnacle of vintage collecting (Reserve: £880,000)&nbsp;Near-complete Skyridge Master Set and a vast array of sealed booster boxes, including 1st Edition Gym Challenge, Gym Heroes, Jungle, and Fossil, alongside modern classics like Evolving Skies.&nbsp;&nbsp;Don’t miss this unforgettable sale where we bring together the very best of the Pokémon TCG to celebrate thirty incredible years.
