This 1996 Japanese Base Set Electrode #101 marks a foundational piece of Pokémon TCG history, originating from the game's historic debut release in Japan. The card features a classic painted and illustrated design by Keiji Kinebuchi, placing the pocket monster against a vivid, radiating rainbow background. Preserving these early-era cards in top-tier condition is exceptionally difficult due to their age and the susceptibility of the original Japanese card backs to edge chipping. Graded a Gem Mint 10 by PSA, this card stands out as an elite survivor from 1996, with a population of only 64 copies achieving this grade in the PSA registry. It represents a highly collectible and pristine connection to the very beginning of the franchise.Show more
