EVERY CARD HAS A STORY
More than
a little artwork.
2021Celebrations brought a familiar birthday party back to the table for Pokémon's 25th anniversary. Kagemaru Himeno's Pikachu sits beside a cake, candles and a wrapped present, with a blank space waiting for a Trainer's name. This is the 2021 Classic Collection edition of the older design.
The reprint keeps its playful Birthday Surprise attack and old card layout, then adds the yellow Pikachu anniversary stamp and a textured holofoil finish. Within a set revisiting memorable cards and mechanics, it offers something unusually personal: a place to write your name and birthdate right on the card.

About these prices and sources
These are researched public records, not a live feed or an appraisal of this particular copy. Published guide estimates and completed sales are shown separately. The latest located sale is the newest matching record in this notebook, not a claim that every marketplace has been searched. A sale's source may include a buyer's premium; shipping and tax depend on that source.
Prices apply to the 2021 anniversary reprint, not the original Wizards promo. Individual historical sales are examples, not current graded estimates. No BGS estimate was verified.
Prices for raw cards vary with condition. Grading companies and label tiers are kept separate; no price is calculated by applying a multiplier to another grade.
