⚡ 1998 No. 3 Trainer Trophy Pikachu ⚡️

Awarded at the 1998 Kamex Mega Battle – 3rd Official Pokémon Card Game Tournament (Japan)

This ultra-rare No. 3 Trainer Pikachu Trophy card was awarded to third-place winners at the prestigious 1998 Kamex Mega Battle, officially recognized as the third sanctioned Pokémon Card Game tournament held in Japan. Contrary to the PSA label stating “1999,” this card was definitively issued in late 1998.

🟫 Event Significance:
The Kamex Mega Battle took place across multiple regions in Japan and culminated in a national-level event. This Bronze version of the trophy card was awarded only to those placing 3rd in their  qualifying block.

🔢 Estimated Population:
It is estimated that no more than 14 copies of this Bronze No. 3 Trainer were ever awarded, with a likely surviving population of fewer than 10 known copies today. These cards were never sold or reprinted, making them among the rarest and most coveted trophy cards in the history of the Pokémon TCG.

🎨 Design & Details:

• Illustration by Mitsuhiro Arita, featuring Pikachu holding a bronze trophy

• Exclusive Trainer-style layout with bold gold header

• Japanese text honoring the player’s achievement and confirming their qualification for national-level play

• Double star (★★) rarity symbol, indicating its exclusive promo status

📜 Correction Note:
While the PSA label incorrectly states “1999,” this card was awarded in 1998 at the Kamex Mega Battle, making it a core part of Pokémon’s early competitive history and a foundational piece for serious collectors.

🔴 Population: This specific copy is a POP 1 in PSA EX 5 — the only one graded at this level
