5 facts about this card
This Ghost Stamp Pikachu is one of Base Set’s most famous production errors, with the 1st Edition mark appearing incomplete so the stamp reads like a faint outline instead of the normal symbol.
Because it comes from the 1999 Base Set—the first main expansion of the Pokémon TCG in English—this Pikachu sits in the same historic release that launched the hobby for an entire generation of collectors.
Base Set 1st Edition cards are the earliest English printings and are identified by their 1st Edition stamp, thin HP text, and shadowless layout, which makes a misprinted stamp on Pikachu especially dramatic to collectors.
The artwork is by Mitsuhiro Arita, an original Pokémon TCG illustrator who has contributed artwork to the game since its inception, giving this Pikachu art pedigree from one of the hobby’s foundational artists.
Even as a Common, Base Set Pikachu became one of the most coveted non-holo cards in vintage collecting because Pikachu is the franchise’s breakout icon and this card exists in multiple legendary variants like Red Cheeks and Ghost Stamp.
