    The art always looked cheesy, but it was still a good card. Better than the Jungle one…

    I have a PSA graded 8, one of these bad boys.

      May his glorious yellow cheeks crackle untarnished by smudge, tear, or crease for eternity.

        I also have the misprinted version of this with the red cheeks.

    The prototype Pikachu card had the first move different, the second move had a buff, it had 50 HP and artwork and background similar to WBSP 1, except drawn by Ken Sugimori.

    The first move was Thunder Wave and cost 1 Thunder energy.
    The second move did 40+ damage, but since it has the same description, the + didn’t do anything.
