BIRTHDAY PIKACHU-HOLO | 2021 POKEMON CELEBRATIONS CLASSIC COLLECTION 24 | CLASSIC COLL-BLACK STAR | PSA MINT 9

PSA Graded Card - Certification #126252235 - Grade: MINT 9

This card features Pikachu celebrating with a birthday cake against a full holofoil confetti background, characteristic of the Pokémon Celebrations Classic Collection reprints. The design is a faithful homage to the original 1990s Birthday Pikachu promo, with the famous 'Your Birthdate' line left blank for personalization. The border is yellow with a classic Pokémon layout. The card includes nostalgic design elements, like old school HP, fonts, and layout. This version has the Celebrations set number and a 'PROMO' Black Star stamp in the lower right. The PSA encapsulation notes a Mint 9 grade with clean edges, centered image, and vibrant colors. The holographic foil is crisp, with no major scratches or wear visible. The printing technique used is the modern confetti-style holofoil, a tribute to the 25th Anniversary of Pokémon. This card is distinguished from others by the unique birthday theme, the 'Birthday Surprise' attack, and the fact that it is a Celebrations reprint of a fan-favorite historical promo.
