Rare Pikachu Promo Card Keeps Selling For Record-Breaking Prices (Here’s Why)

by

Starting in early 2025, a Pikachu card from 1998 has begun selling for significantly more money than it used to. Both regular and professionally graded versions of the card are increasing in value, but the professionally graded PSA 10 version has seen the largest price jump, according to PriceCharting. This card, the 1998 Ooyama’s Pikachu promo, was originally available only in Japan as part of a special vending machine series. Uniquely, the card was fully hand-drawn by Pokémon TCG illustrator Kouichi Ooyama and was distributed on a sheet where collectors could peel off individual cards. While always rare, this vintage card has historically been affordable. However, that appears to be changing.

The anime Marriagetoxin is based on a popular manga, leading many to believe it would be a success. While the animation studio Bones was known for high-quality work, the series initially struggled to differentiate itself from other visually stunning anime. However, the most recent episode featured a single, unexpectedly powerful scene that truly set it apart. This scene, focusing on Shiori Ureshino – the woman Hikaru Gero is seeking as a wife – was exceptionally well-animated by Bones and perfectly encapsulated the heart of the series.

Goblins in classic Dungeons & Dragons are typically weak enemies. However, the goblins in Goblin Slayer, while not as strong as dragons or major monsters, are frightening in large numbers. This is immediately clear in the anime’s first episode, where a group of adventurers underestimate the cave-dwelling goblins. Sadly, for both the characters and the audience, the goblins brutally torture the adventurers before killing them. This opening episode is remarkably dark—one of the most disturbing premieres in anime—and that’s why it stands out.

As a longtime fan of crime dramas, I’ve been following Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer since it debuted in 2022. For those unfamiliar, it’s based on the popular book series by Michael Connelly – the same source material that gave us the excellent 2011 film with Matthew McConaughey. Over four seasons, the show has really built a loyal fanbase, but unfortunately, it looks like we only have one season left to enjoy. It’s a bit of a blow for those of us who’ve been hooked!
