2005 POKEMON JPN GIFT BOX MEW GOLD STAR #001 PIKACHU-HOLO PSA 10
Price: $55,000.00
Pikachu from the Japanese Gift Box Mew Gold Star, card number 001, holo rarity, slabbed in PSA 10. This one’s got that classic Pikachu vibe, but with a twist from its exclusive box origins.
The artwork shows Pikachu mid-leap, cheeks sparking with electricity, looking ready to zap anything in sight. That dynamic pose really captures the energy without overdoing it.
On the card text side, it’s a Basic Lightning-type with 50 HP. Ability? None here—straight to attacks. “Thunder Wave” for 10 damage with a chance to Paralyze, and “Thunderbolt” dishing out 40 but with 10 recoil to itself. Simple, effective for early game plays.
This printing dropped in 2005 as part of the Gift Box Mew set, a Japan-only release tied to the Mew Gold Star theme. What stands out is its promo status—came bundled in a special box with Mew ex and other goodies, making it a collector’s piece from the ADV era. Not your everyday Pikachu; it’s got that limited-run feel, especially since the Gold Star sets were all about those shiny, star-marked chase cards. Pikachu here fits right in as a holo companion, pulling from the base set roots but with fresh holo foil that pops under light.
Slab-wise, PSA 10 means pristine corners, edges, and surface—no surprises there. Centering’s likely spot-on, giving it sharp eye appeal with the holo pattern gleaming evenly. As for pop, based on reports, PSA has graded around 20 total for this card, with maybe 5 hitting that perfect 10 mark. Edges might show minor wear on raw copies from box handling, but a gem like this avoids all that.
I’d stash this one in a display case where the light catches the foil just right, maybe next to other Gold Star pulls for that era nostalgia.
