"Raichu LV.40" is included in the original Pokémon Trading Card Game (old back) released in 1996.   Packs included: Included as a rare (R) card in the first expansion pack. Extremely rare: As this card is over 20 years old and few mint-condition examples remain, it has attracted attention as an asset.   Nostalgia: For the original Pokémon generation, Raichu was a mainstay card at the time, making it an easy target for collections.   The appeal of the illustrations: The distinctive touch of the old backs and the artwork by the official illustrators of the time have earned it a strong following. ※ As the photos are taken by an amateur, they may not perfectly capture the card's condition. Please refrain from bidding if you cannot accept imperfections not visible in the photos—such as edge whitening, scratches, peeling, creases, bends, or dents—or if you are seeking a flawless, mint-condition item. Since these are cards from decades ago, they may have factory-origin flaws or signs of aging (such as discoloration); please examine the photos carefully.
