Trivia

  • This card is considered amongst one of the rarest in the world, although how many exist remains in question. Some believe as little as six exist, but in reality there are considerably more cards with featured illustrations in the Vending series than that, therefore more of them must exist. A more reasonable number is estimated to be around 30 (nonetheless, still a limited amount).
  • The card has "Illustrator" at the top instead of "Trainer".
  • This is one of only a handful of Japanese promotional cards that feature a double-star rarity.
  • This card is commonly known as the Pikachu Illustrator, in reference to the Pikachu in the illustration.
