Price: $1,945.00
Van Gogh Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat from the SVP Black Star Promo line, clocking in at number 085, slabbed in a PSA 10. This one’s got that artistic flair, with Pikachu donning a grey felt hat and holding a paintbrush, mimicking Van Gogh’s self-portrait style. The pose is quirky—Pikachu looks focused, like it’s about to splash some color on a canvas, ears perked up and all.
On the card text side, it’s a Basic Lightning-type with 60 HP. No Ability here, but it packs two attacks: “Pika Portraits” for 10 damage that lets you draw a card if you have fewer than three in hand, and “Impressionist Bolt” for 50 damage after discarding an Energy. Simple mechanics, nothing too wild, but it fits the promo vibe.
This printing dropped in 2023 as part of a wild collaboration between Pokémon and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. They handed these out to visitors during a special exhibit, tying into Van Gogh’s art legacy. What stands out is the chaos around it—lines formed, stock vanished quick due to high demand, and it became this instant collector’s piece. Not your everyday set release; it’s more like a limited-event gem that blended fine art with TCG. The English version, SVP EN 085, was distributed globally but still feels exclusive compared to mass-produced packs.
Slab-wise, PSA 10 means pristine condition across the board—edges sharp, no whitening, surface clean as a whistle. Centering looks spot-on, probably 9.5 or better on subs, giving it solid eye appeal with that vibrant yellow border popping against the artistic background. From what I’ve seen in pop reports, PSA has graded a few thousand of these overall, but the 10s sit around 400 or so last I checked, keeping it on the rarer side for perfect slabs.
I’d stash this one in a display case where the light catches that hat just right, maybe next to some actual Van Gogh prints for the full effect.
