Surfing Pikachu #025 — 1997 JR East Stamp Rally Special Card (Non-Glossy)

Japanese Pokemon Trading Card Game promo card distributed by JR East during the Pocket Monsters Stamp Rally campaign held from August 9 to 17, 1997. It was awarded to participants who collected stamps at all 30 participating stations, and was handed out together with Mew LV.8. The card was never sold at retail.

The artwork by Toshinao Aoki shows Pikachu surfing with Mount Fuji and a Shinkansen bullet train in the background, which sets it apart from the standard Surfing Pikachu promo card. This listing is for the non-glossy variant.
