Hands down, the Illustrator Pikachu is the crown jewel of rare original Pokemon cards. Only a few were ever made for a specific contest in Japan, making it super rare. Next up, the Pre-Release Raichu rumors have swirled for years, though it's debated if it officially exists. Then there's the First Edition Shadowless Holographic Charizard, which is like the holy grail for collectors. Basically owning any of these is like having a treasure!

Can confirm the First Edition Shadowless Holographic Charizard is a BIG deal in the collecting world. Managed to snag one at a garage sale once, and it was like hitting the lottery. The look on the faces at my local card shop... priceless.

Honestly, all that rarity talk is overrated. Just enjoy the game and the cards you have. Who cares if you don't have a super rare card from 20 years ago?
