Collector’s notes

Pichu 22/165 (Expedition Base Set)
Pichu floats mid-leap with its eyes squeezed shut in a big happy grin, cheeks glowing pink, surrounded by drifting white daisies against a starry blue holo sky. Art by Atsuko Nishida, it has the soft, dreamy feel collectors love from the e-Card era. As a Rare Holo from Expedition Base Set, it draws Pikachu-line fans and anyone chasing that set's distinctive holo pattern.
Pichu 12/111 (Neo Genesis)
Pichu stands front and center with arms spread wide and a cheerful open-mouthed grin, set against a starry cosmos holo that sparkles across the whole window, art by Ken Sugimori in his clean, classic style. As one of the first Baby Pokémon holos from Neo Genesis, it draws Pikachu fans and vintage collectors alike, and the galaxy foil makes it a favorite to display.
