A flawless CGC Pristine 10 Black Label copy of Pikachu ex #018 from the 2024 Scarlet & Violet Battle Academy Japanese release. This is the highest grade CGC awards, reserved only for cards with perfect surfaces, immaculate corners, razor‑sharp edges, and ideal centering.

Why This Card Stands Out

The Black Label distinction elevates this Pikachu ex far beyond a standard gem‑mint copy. Pikachu remains the most recognizable Pokémon worldwide, and pristine Japanese ex‑era cards continue to see strong long‑term demand.

This is the kind of card that anchors a modern Pokémon display — flawless, iconic, and instantly desirable.

• Ideal for Pikachu collectors, ex‑era enthusiasts, and Black Label hunters
• Japanese print quality + perfect grade = premium long‑term hold
• Highly liquid across all major platforms
