Released in 2001 as part of the Japanese Neo 4 set (Darkness, and to Light...), this #026 Shining Raichu features artwork by Hironobu Yoshida. Graded PSA 10 Gem Mint, this card sits at the top tier of preservation for vintage Japanese Pokémon releases. According to the PSA population report, only 60 copies have achieved this highest grade, establishing it as an investment-grade cornerstone piece for premier TCG collections.
Shining Pokémon introduced alternate-coloration artwork paired with distinct foil treatment applied directly to the character portrait rather than the background. Japanese Neo 4 marked the final expansion of the Neo era, housing the rarest secret rare prints of the generation. Printed at the top of the card is the specific mechanical deck-legality rule restricting players to a maximum of one Shining Pokémon per deck, highlighting its historic role in the early trading card game standard format.Show more
