Offered for sale is a 1998 Pocket Monsters “Surfing Pikachu” Sealdass – Fancy Graffiti #01, professionally graded PSA 9 (Mint).

This card comes from Bandai’s Sealdass series, an early Japanese Pokémon collectible line released in the late 1990s, distinct from the traditional trading card game. Sealdass items were sold primarily through vending machines and small retail outlets in Japan and are known for their thicker card stock, sticker-like finish, and experimental artwork.

The Fancy Graffiti subset is especially notable for its playful, stylized visuals and soft, airbrushed aesthetic—very much a product of the original Pocket Monsters era. This Surfing Pikachu design captures the whimsical tone of early Pokémon merchandising and has become a favorite among collectors who focus on pre-2000 Japanese exclusives.

Key details:

• PSA 9 Mint

• 1998 Pocket Monsters Sealdass

• Fancy Graffiti series

• Surfing Pikachu – Card #01

• Japanese-exclusive release

• Strong color, clean borders, and excellent overall eye appeal

Sealdass cards are notoriously condition-sensitive, as they were often handled casually, peeled, or stored loosely. High-grade examples—especially of iconic characters like Pikachu—are increasingly difficult to find more than 25 years after release.

The exact card shown is the one you will receive. It is securely encapsulated in a PSA holder and will be carefully packaged for safe shipment.
