This Pikachu trading card (No. 025) comes from the 1996 Pokémon Japanese Bandai Carddass Vending series, part of a retro “Monsters Collection” set of Pocket Monster cards. The artwork shows a plump, smiling Pikachu against a text-filled background, topped by a black-and-red “Pocket Monster 025” label and a green “MONSTERS COLLECTION” banner; a gold Japanese nameplate (ピカチュウ) at the bottom adds a classic accent. Its old-school illustration style and limited vending-machine release give it nostalgic appeal for Pokémon TCG collectors, evoking the early days of Pokémon merchandise. As one of the earliest official Pikachu card designs, it holds special interest for fans of classic Pokémon trading cards.
