Pokemon: Mitsuhiro Arita Signed/ Artwork Pikachu 1st Edition Shadowless RARE CGC
Mitsuhiro Arita Signed & Sketched Pikachu | 1st Edition Shadowless Base Set
CGC Authentic | JSA Certified Auto 10 | Unique "Red Cheeks" Custom Sketch
A Museum-Quality Piece of Pokémon History This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a 1999 1st Edition Shadowless Pikachu, hand-signed and custom-sketched by its original legendary illustrator, Mitsuhiro Arita. This card represents the intersection of the hobby’s most iconic character and the artist who brought him to life at the very beginning of the Pokémon phenomenon.
The "Red Cheeks" vs. "Yellow Cheeks" Story This card is a 1st Edition Shadowless Yellow Cheeks Pikachu. Historically, Arita-san originally drew Pikachu with Red Cheeks, but Wizards of the Coast (WOTC) changed them to yellow for the English release against his wishes. In a brilliant and rare move, Arita-san has "reclaimed" his original vision on this card by hand-drawing a Red Cheeks Pikachu sketch next to his signature.
Unique Inscriptions & Features
The Signature: Boldly signed by Mitsuhiro Arita in black ink.
The Sketch: Includes a hand-drawn sketch of Pikachu with Red Cheeks.
The Inscription: Features the Japanese word "ROCKET", adding a layer of mystery and exclusivity to the provenance of this signing.
Dual Authentication: Authenticated by JSA (James Spence Authentication) and encapsulated by CGC with a perfect Auto 10 grade.

Collector’s Note While many Arita-signed cards exist, very few feature a custom sketch, and even fewer feature the Red Cheeks sketch on a Yellow Cheeks card. This specific combination is a "meta" commentary on the card's own history, making it one of the most intellectually interesting and rare Pikachu cards in existence.
