Pokémon Pikachu Reverse Foil — Legendary Collection, BGS 8.5

Pikachu in the reverse foil printing of Legendary Collection, the 2002 expansion that reproposed some of the most loved cards of the early TCG in a retro-holo finish. The illustration is by Ken Sugimori, the character designer of the original generation, and places Pikachu in a woodland setting with the whole background of the card covered by the reverse holo effect.

As the mascot of the franchise, Pikachu carries a demand that cuts across generations of collectors, and Legendary Collection is remembered as the set that bridged the Wizards of the Coast era and the years that followed. Sugimori's artwork gives the card an additional layer of desirability for collectors who follow the illustrators as much as the subjects.

The example is graded Beckett BGS 8.5 NM-MT+, a solid certification from one of the two reference grading companies, encapsulated in a sealed holder.
