This Pokémon TCG Pikachu trading card comes from the original 1999 Base Set (often labeled “Pokemon Game” on the card), making it a nostalgic piece from the game’s early era. The artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita shows a cheerful Pikachu with subtle yellow cheeks and small electric sparks, rendered in the flat, non-holographic style of the time. This version bears an “E3” stamp, indicating it was distributed at a special event promotion, which adds to its collectible value. Collectors prize the yellow-cheeked Pikachu variant for its vintage charm and rarity, making it a standout card in any Pokémon trading card collection.
