Illustration Rares sit outside the base 193-card numbering and only turn up around once every few booster boxes. Aoki's art puts Raichu mid-discharge among lab apparatus, arcing electricity across textured holo stock – a scene rather than a battle pose. Gen 1 nostalgia plus the Pikachu-line collector base keeps demand on this one well above a typical set IR.

On the grade: PSA 8 NM-MT means a minor flaw – slight centering, a small edge nick, or light surface wear. Textured Illustration Rare stock is notoriously prone to edge hits, so 8s are common for this card and price accordingly against 9s and 10s.
