I’ve recently stumbled upon a sold Japanese auction listing for a variety of Pichu cards. Included were these 3:
The 1st edition card on the left is from the Rampardos the Attacker half deck, which, thanks to Bulbapedia, looked like this when new:
Note the 1st Edition stamp in the bottom left of the Rampardos card the set reveals.
Until now I wasn’t aware unlimited variants of this card existed. I also find it a bit odd that the seller of this Pichu listing would have 2 unlimited ones if it only comes from the half deck.
Googling a bit hasn’t really helped. The only cards from this set I can find all have the 1st edition stamp, however TCG Republic lists 5 cards from this set for sale and the only one which doesn’t have a 1st edition stamp here is the Pichu card:
Was this unlimited version of the Pichu card from the Rampardos the Attacker half deck, or was it acquired some other way?
