The back of the card carries the Pocket Monsters Card Game logo that did not make it overseas and was created to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Pokémon TCG in 2016. This ‘Fat Pikachu’ design has fallen out of favour thanks to the ubiquity of the anime’s version of the electric mouse, but the chubby design by Atsuko Nishida remains popular among collectors and longtime fans. More likely is the presence of surface wear or scratches, though an EX 5 rating falls just below the near-mint and mint categories.īeyond its strange composition, the card boasts the Pikachu art that accompanied the original Japanese release of the trading card game. That normally means the item has “very minor rounding of corners” - likely not an issue when the card comprises 11 grammes of solid 24-karat gold.
The card in Lot #192 over at Goldin is rated EX 5 by collectibles grading company PSA. This is the first time the commemorative card from 2016 has hit the auction circuit, giving fans with heavy purse strings a rare chance at a decidedly non-standard card. A Pokémon Trading Card Game Pikachu made entirely from gold has recently been posted for auction by US company Goldin.
