The 1998 Pokémon Japanese Vending Series 3 Ooyama's Pikachu #025 is evaluated here in a PSA 3 VG holder. Illustrated by Kouichi Ooyama, the card originated from Expansion Sheet 3, distributed exclusively via vending machines in Japan. It features Ooyama's distinct humorous illustration style and includes the printed deck restriction along the bottom margin stating that it is not intended for official tournament play. PSA records indicate a population of 124 at this grade.
Released during the early footprint of the Japanese Pocket Monsters Card Game, the Vending Series required collectors to peel individual cards directly from glossy cardstock sheets. Series 3 integrated several extra-game cards with custom mechanics and playful artwork. The reverse features the vintage Japanese card back design, showing Diglett, Squirtle, Pikachu, Charmander, Mew, Bulbasaur, and Clefairy set around the central Poké Ball ring.Show more
