This Galapagos Hawk had been collecting nesting material. It seemed confused about the best way to transport up to the nesting site and took a long time to prepare for flight. Whilst I was ready for it to take flight, I was surprised by how high it leapt up and all but completely missed the rest of the take off. Fernandina Island, Galapagos.

Name: Pikachu

AKA: Sample Pikachu

Release Date: 2002/August

Expansion / Set: Sample

Released Through: Nintendo e-Reader Pre-Launch Party

Card #: 016/093

e-Reader ID: M-16-#

Approx. Value: $200.00 - $300.00

Notes:

Back in August 2002, Nintendo was getting ready to launch the e-Reader and organized a pre-launch party for the media to come and try the e-Reader and see what all of the hype was, please remember the technology itself was quite mind blowing at the time. The event was held at the New York City Pokémon Center, but was not open to the public.

 

e-Cards feature a “dot code” barcode. The barcode can be swiped through the Nintendo e-Reader, which would activate mini-games or prompt a Pokédex data entry for the Pokémon on the card. The barcode was omitted on any e-Cards featuring a holofoil treatment, that way holographic cards would not be swiped through the e-Reader and be damaged.

 

The timelines show us that the English Expedition Base set had not been released yet and this created a small issue of "how can we demonstrate the e-Reader without showing the next set of cards"... the answer was pretty easy. Nintendo asked Media Factory in Japan to print some English cards for demonstration reasons only.

 

This card has an English front and a Japanese back, making it the 1st Pikachu card to do so. In order to ensure that the cards were valueless and undesirable, the word “Sample” was printed in the bottom right corner. Printing the word 'Sample' had the opposite effect, from 2002 till 2006 cards sold at over $500 a piece.

 

The cards were not handed out at the event, they were printed for staff to use and demonstrate the e-Reader, but some of these cards found their way out of the shop and onto the market, others remained hidden away. Supposedly 50 sets of these cards were printed, but many sets are considered destroyed. As little as 16 sets remain.

 

The Sample cards have a unique numbering system that do not match the Japanese nor the English e-Card 1 set.

List of cards in the Sample set:

002/093 Hoppip

004/093 Koffing

016/093 Pikachu

019/093 Gastly

021/093 Machop

042/093 Machoke

048/093 Chansey

074/093 Rapidash

083/093 Pichu

088/093 Machamp
