Jirachi Special Illustration Rare from 30th Celebration rises in secondary market price after creator Avery the Poke Kid's death
Following the death of 12-year-old Pokémon content creator Avery the Poke Kid on September 18, 2026, whose final pack opening yielded a Jirachi Special Illustration Rare from the 30th Celebration set, secondary market prices for the card rose. Dexerto reports a completed eBay sale of $65 on September 20, with recent sales at $80 and $120 and listings between roughly $125 and $240. Collectors accused resellers of exploiting the death, including a $20,000 eBay listing that has since been removed.
