Recent Sales
Recent sales for Japanese Base Set Pikachu without rarity symbols generally fall between $15 and $35 depending on centering and surface condition.
Condition Details
Moderate top-heavy centering. Minimal edge wear visible from front. Surface appears clean but requires back inspection for full grade.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended. While iconic, this is the non-rarity symbol version which is less valuable than the 'No Rarity' first print. The centering is poor, likely resulting in a PSA 7 or 8.
Card Description
HP 50 Electric Type. Attack 1: Quick Attack (10+). Attack 2: Agility (20). Weakness: Fighting. Pokedex entry: When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity could build and cause lightning storms.
Notable Features
Missing Rarity Symbol in the bottom right corner. Note: This version is from the later 1996 reprints, not to be confused with the 'No Rarity' error first edition which lacks both symbol and bottom text.
Authentication Notes
Print clarity matches original Media Factory production. Font spacing for 'No.025' and 'HP50' is consistent with authentic Japanese Base Set releases.
