2000/February/24: Base 2 (Gold Border)

Name: Pikachu

AKA: Gold Border Pikachu

Release Date: 2000/February/24

Expansion / Set: Base Set 2

Theme Deck: Lightning Bug Theme Deck

Card #: 87/130

Approx. Value: $20.00 - $25.00

Notes:

Base Set 2 was a combination of Jungle and Base Set. Wizards of the Coast usually performs these sorts of reprintings with their card games, and Pokémon TCG was of no exception. At the time this proved to be an unpopular decision between fans and players. This Set was never released in Japan.

 

I haven't found much info on why the border is a gold/orange color. It is probably just an error.

 

14 variations of this card were released. This version has the Base Set 2 logo & a gold/orange border.
