The card is in good condition, but please judge from the images. It will be shipped from Japan in a card case. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. Please note that international shipping may take longer due to customs clearance or local postal situations. If you have a VAT number or taxpayer number, please let us know after you make a successful bid. This may prevent the item from being properly cleared by customs. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Raichu cards from the original series (1st set to the Neo series) are popular not only as an evolved form of Pikachu, but also due to their rare illustrations and the fact that they were effective in competitive play. The better the condition of the card, the higher its value tends to be due to its rarity as a card from several decades ago.
