PICHU | 2000 POKEMON JAPANESE NEO 2 PROMO 172 | PROMO-REVERSE FOIL | PSA GEM MT 10

PSA Graded Card - Certification #119108031 - Grade: GEM MT 10

This is a Japanese Pokémon card from the 2000 Neo 2 series, specifically a promotional reverse foil variant featuring Pichu. The front displays a full-color image of Pichu on a realistic outdoor background bordered in gold. The surface exhibits a sparkling, holographic 'reverse foil' pattern across the entire card (except the artwork window), typical of Japanese promos from this era. Text is in Japanese, with key statistics and skills highlighted in both standard and colored fonts. The card's bottom left shows a small Pikachu evolution portrait. The printing quality is sharp, with vibrant colors and clear holo effects. Observationally, this card is graded GEM MT 10 by PSA, denoting pristine condition: sharp corners, clean edges, centering, and no visible surface flaws. Unique to this issue is its exclusive promo numbering (No. 1/2) and Japanese-language release, distributed as part of a special promotional campaign linked to Neo 2. The card is further distinguished from its English and regular Neo Genesis counterparts by language, reverse holo type, and Japan-only artwork. The card’s sparkly reverse foil is especially valued by collectors.
