This authentic 1st Edition Pikachu trading card is from the original 1999 Pokémon Base Set (often listed as the “Pokemon Game” series). The Mitsuhiro Arita illustration shows Pikachu in a lush forest scene, with its cheeks glowing a rare early-print yellow. As a Basic Lightning-type Pokémon card (40 HP) featuring the classic Thunder Jolt attack, it’s a non-holo with the original first-edition stamp and star symbol – marking its vintage rarity. Collectors prize this piece for its nostalgic charm and iconic artwork, since it comes from the franchise’s very first wave of cards.
