Pokémon Dark Raichu Reverse Foil — Legendary Collection, PSA 9

Dark Raichu belongs to the Dark Pokémon subcategory first introduced in Team Rocket, a line built on a darker, more aggressive visual language than the classic roster. Legendary Collection brought the card back in 2002 with the reverse foil treatment, and the illustration keeps Raichu in a dynamic, energetic pose with the deepened colouring that defines the Dark variants.

Card number 7 of the set, it sits at the intersection of two collecting currents: the Dark Pokémon line, among the most pursued of the early TCG, and the Legendary Collection reprints, which collectors treat as a bridge between the Wizards of the Coast years and what followed.

Graded PSA 9 MINT, this example is one step below the maximum of the scale and documents excellent preservation, with the card encapsulated in a sealed PSA holder.
