Artist
Base Set Pikachu was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the foundational artists of the early Pokémon TCG, and his work helped define the look of the hobby’s most iconic era.

This specific Pikachu card became a collector favorite because its English Base Set release exists in both yellow-cheek and red-cheek variants, giving one humble common card a famous built-in chase story.
Set Lore
Pikachu 58/102 comes from Base Set, the first main Pokémon TCG set, originally released in Japan in 1996 and in the United States on January 9, 1999, making it a true cornerstone of WotC-era collecting.
