Japanese Asobikata Promos Pikachu 25/4 Book Print: Prices by Grade

Japanese Asobikata Promos (1996) · 25/4 · Book Print

Prices for this printing

Each row opens to its sales — dated, venue-labelled, linked where the listing still exists. Raw is our own estimate: the average of the five highest ungraded sales in the last three months, priced from eBay completed listings only — graded slabs from other companies, multi-card lots and reprints are filtered out, and the table under it lists exactly those five with the date each one sold. Vintage raw sales are dominated by played copies, while the near-mint copies people actually grade are the expensive ones. Each graded row averages the sales listed under it. PSA and CGC are priced separately and never averaged together. Every block names the sales it rests on.

Estimated NM price: $584.00 · average of the 5 highest ungraded eBay sales in the last 3 months: $520.00 (15 Oct 26) · $500.00 (25 Sep 26) · $700.00 (29 Aug 26) · $600.00 (22 Aug 26) · $600.00 (13 Aug 26).

CGC — the same card graded by CGC. Priced separately from PSA, because the two companies grade to different standards and their prices are never blended.

Sources, named per row. Graded PSA rows come from PriceCharting's PSA grade bands — the grader is named in the seller's own listing title, so each row is one sold listing with its date and link, and two kinds of record are left out: sales far below the card's own auction level (counterfeit slabs and mis-listed items carry copied cert numbers, which is how a real PSA 10 Charizard cert appears at $36) and ended fixed-price listings, which are not confirmed sales. Every row links to its own sold listing. Ungraded and CGC rows come from eBay completed listings via PriceCharting: the seller's own title is what removed the other companies' slabs, the multi-card lots and the reprints, and each row links to the eBay item — eBay retires item pages after a few months, so an older row may no longer open.

Printing

Japanese Asobikata Promos are book inserts, not a set: one printing each, no 1st Edition and no Unlimited run. This card is Book Print.

The 1996 book Pikachu - matte, and the illustrator credit is the tell. This is the non-glossy reprint handed out with Easily Understand How to Play Pokémon Cards on 30 November 1996, two months after the same artwork appeared as a glossy CoroCoro Comic insert. The two are the same drawing, so the difference is on the card: this print credits Keiji Kinebuchi, while the CoroCoro print credits Ken Sugimori - an error on that print, not on this one. It prints no collector number. Sources: Bulbapedia, “Unnumbered Promotional cards (TCG)/1996-2005”; elitefourum's Japanese unnumbered-promo thread; product naming and scans from PriceCharting.

Where this card fits

Machine-compiled card record. These cards print no collector number, so the number shown is the Pokédex number the price source files them by. Prices are PriceCharting sold comps (November 7, 2026) with PSA and CGC kept separate. No structured fact source covers a book insert, so rarity, type and illustrator are omitted rather than invented.
