Pikachu

1996 CoroCoro Glossy · CGC 8.5

Newest slab in the vault: the 1996 CoroCoro glossy Pikachu, CGC 8.5, carrying the famous incorrect illustrator credit.

These promos are not just early Pikachu — they are the paper the hobby still argues about. Glossy stock, magazine distribution, a credit line that should not be there. The 8.5 is the higher of two copies held here.

Japanese promo. Cert #6196214001. Curious to see if Logan Paul can peel a 10 like he announced.
