"Big Things Have Small Beginnings"
This Chansey card is based off an illustration by Koichi Oyama, giving a glimpse into the original test products that would evolve into the final Japanese Base Set cards and beyond.
It released in a special set given exclusively to illustrators at the Pokémon Company to celebrate the TCG's 25th anniversary in 2021.
Total grail. With the lowest ask on eBay at $50k, it's not one I'm banking on adding to my collection anytime soon...but hey, a guy can dream.
