The Pikachu ex Starter Deck is a notable item for collectors of Pokémon TCG, particularly since Pikachu remains an enduring symbol of the franchise since its debut in the late '90s.

Released during a period of heightened interest in Pokémon, the ex series is characterized by its unique mechanics and rarer Pokémon distributions, attracting a dedicated following.

The unopened condition adds a layer of authenticity and collector value, despite the visible wear on the packaging, which is common among retired items, especially from a market like Japan known for preserving these collectibles.

Given its current bidding price of ¥6,999, this lot reflects a typical entry point for collectors aiming to own original, Japan-sourced items, even if content is absent.
