Price: $1,411.80
Pikachu 224/SM-P from the Japanese 20th Anniversary Center Promo, locked in a CGC 10 slab. This one’s a clean gem, straight from the promo lineup that hit Pokémon Centers in Japan.
The artwork shows Pikachu in a playful anniversary vibe, with that classic yellow fur and rosy cheeks, mid-celebration like it’s toasting two decades of TCG chaos. No frills, just pure Pikachu charm staring back at you.
On the card text side, it’s a Basic Lightning-type with 60 HP. Ability is none here, but attacks include Thunder Shock for 10 damage with a paralysis chance on a coin flip, and Quick Attack for 20 plus 10 more if you flip heads. Simple moves that nod to Pikachu’s speedy roots without overcomplicating things.
This printing dropped in 2018 as part of the Sun & Moon promo series, tied to the Pokémon franchise’s big 20th bash. What makes it stand out? It’s exclusive to Japanese Pokémon Centers, handed out during special events or purchases, capturing that milestone energy when the series was evolving from XY to SM eras. Not your everyday pack pull—more like a collector’s nod to the history, with unique numbering in the SM-P line that sets it apart from English counterparts.
Slab-wise, CGC 10 means pristine all around: edges sharp as a fresh pack, corners without a ding, surface glossy and free of scratches. Centering looks spot-on, probably 10/10 subs if we’re guessing from the grade, giving it that eye appeal where the artwork pops under lights. Pop reports for CGC on this one are scarce, but estimates put perfect 10s in the single digits—super low for a promo this niche, especially compared to more common Pikachu prints.
I’d stash this in a display case next to some Base Set buddies, just for the anniversary vibes it brings to the shelf.
