Collector’s notes
Base Set Pikachu is an early interpretation of Pokémon’s mascot. Small print details make identifying the exact copy part of the collecting interest.
- Before you collect
- Check cheek colour, edition stamp and frame shadow. Catalog #58 alone does not establish a red-cheeks variant or its price.
- A collection idea
- Compare the vintage design with 151 Pikachu and Surging Sparks Pikachu ex in the Vault.

About the copy you buy
This is a card reference, not a listing for an individual copy. The artwork does not establish condition or authenticity. Ask for clear front, back and angled surface photos.
Raw means professionally ungraded. For a graded card, match the grading company and grade, and check its certification record with that company before comparing prices.
