2000 Banpresto Pikachu's Great Surfing Adventure Masterset? Price estimate

Hi,

I received a complete 2000 Banpresto Pikachu’s Great Surfing Adventure Prize Set.

The 36 regular cards (not the 6 prize cards) have never been used in the arcade machine, as I received the set directly from someone who had opened the machine themselves. Therefore, these 36 cards are in near mint to mint condition. The 6 prize cards are also in very good condition, approximately near mint to mint.

The 36 regular cards (not the 6 prize cards) are in very good condition!

According to Bulbapedia, this was a Japanese arcade game with prize cards, not a classic Pokémon TCG series.

Pikachu’s Great Surfing Adventure

It supposedly includes all 36 prize cards, including the A-Class license. I’m wondering:

  • Is this actually considered a “Master Set” of a Banpresto prize pool?

  • Is there a complete checklist available somewhere?

  • Does anyone have comparable sales figures or valuations for individual cards or the set?

I’m considering selling individual cards or the entire bundle.

Best regards, Logtwin

For the year 2000 I assume yes, I recently learned there’s a 2002 set as well (at least for the A-class licenses)

  • Is there a complete checklist available somewhere?

I haven’t been able to find one during my research sadly

  • Does anyone have comparable sales figures or valuations for individual cards or the set?

No recent sales numbers to report but I do remember seeing the regular cards a few times for $10-20. There are a few A-class licenses listed on eBay at the moment for $250, but none have sold yet. A few years ago a PSA 3 A-class license sold for about $350 which is the only public sale I know of outside of Japan. I’ve seen some sold for $30-150 on Mercari Japan but that was long ago as well.

For years I hadn’t seen a single one of these cards (outside of my own set of A-class licenses), but now it seems like some of them are coming to the surface! It’s a really cool set and deserves a bit more attention imo :slight_smile:

Thanks mate :slight_smile: yeah i saw some are graded by CGC but thats also under 25 pcs. Nice to see other people with the “masertset”
