Very cool, had no idea these pokemon center clear files existed! This art from Sugimori was also (originally?) featured in a 2002 Prima Pokedex / game guide book with other “exclusive artwork” at the time.
It’s super interesting to see that this artwork has been included in English product! We both learned something new today! Thanks for sharing ![]()
I just bought a poketour pikachu to match with e3 red cheeks pikachu. I don’t have my original one I bought 5 years ago anymore, so I wanted to rebuy it.
Whats crazy to me was there wasn’t much change from when I first bought one back in 2020 till now. It actually gotten cheaper with age along with 20% cash back for myself making it $348 total (paypal is doing 20% cashback on pay-in-4, highly recommend to take advantage of it).
One of the rare times where a card doesn’t go up and stays stagnant which is nice to see from a collecting standpoint especially with a total overall pop of 860 and a unique history/distribution.
Really, really clean copy.
This is an all-timer Arita art. Truly ahead of its time, this art would not look at all out of place 22 years later as an IR/SIR.
Here’s my most recent purchase- a belated birthday present to myself after waiting for the price to come down. I rarely buy modern, but I couldn’t resist this masterpiece ![]()
