Today I would like to share with you some of my Pokémon card collection. We will be focusing on Raichu in this post. I have a total of 7 Raichu cards in my collection.
Raichu is probably one of the least used evolved Pokémon in existence. I blame this mainly on the fact that so many trainers are fans of Pikachu and refuse to evolve into Raichu. I was one of those people back in 1999 with Pokémon Yellow on GameBoy. Actually, I was forced to be one of those people. Yellow didn't allow you to evolve Pikachu into Raichu. Pikachu followed you around the entire game, there was no way the developers were going to get rid of him.
The only option was to trade your Yellow version Pikachu to a Red or Blue game and evolve it with a Thunderstone there, then trade it back. That is a pretty lengthy process, plus is Raichu really that much cooler than Pikachu? I'm sure not many did that, I know I didn't. I don't think I had my first Raichu until later Pokémon games. Yes, that means I never completed the original PokéDex or any PokéDex for that matter.
One place I was most certainly familiar with using Raichu was the Pokémon TCG. Evolving my cards is an important part of my strategy and you can definitely tell a difference in the power of Raichu and Pikachu in the card game. I'm not saying there are not really strong Pikachu cards, because there are. It is just far more common for Raichu to be a strong card consistently. There are a lot of weak Pikachu cards to collect.
Despite Raichu often getting overlooked in favor of Pikachu, I still think of Raichu as one of the coolest Electric-type Pokémon. Ever since I witnessed Lt. Surge and his Raichu dominate in battles during the anime and old video games, I cannot forget how cool Raichu is.
Raichu is one of the few base set cards that I happen to have in my collection. This isn't one of my original base set cards from my childhood, but I did get lucky and pick this guy up whenever I purchased someone else's collection for cheap off of eBay. No, it isn't first edition, but it is in fantastic condition.
You have already seen a brief preview of my Raichu cards, but I think now it is time that you get a closer look. I will provide an image, the card number, and the set to which it belongs. Also listed will be the average going price for these cards on the market. I am always open to selling my cards, but I am not in a rush to do so. Offers would of course need to make sense when looking at the relative prices provided.
