Raichu — forever in Pikachu's shadow, yet vintage royalty in its own right. The Shining holo, the Base Set 1st Edition, and the legendary 'Dark Raichu' anchor the line.
Raichu has spent twenty-five years in Pikachu's shadow — and quietly become vintage royalty in the process. This is a line of genuine WotC-era grails: the Shining holo, the Base Set 1st Edition, and 'Dark Raichu', one of the most famous secret cards ever printed. Priciest first.
The 'Shining' Raichu (2002) — an alternate-color holo hidden in Neo Destiny packs at brutal odds. Shinings were the chase cards of the WotC era, and this one tops the line.
