How rare is it? This is hard to say considering that Wizards does not release distribution information regarding these types of cards. However, EVERY subscriber to Nintendo Power magazine received one of these cards, and they were originally given out during the Electronics and Entertainment Expo this year. So, there are quite a few floating around. It certainly trades on-par with other non-holographic Rare cards. > 2. How much is it worth? Please check The PoJo's price guides for the value of all English cards (and most Japanese sets as well!) > 3. Can you get it by buying the > september issue of Nintendo Power, > or do you have to order the magazine? This is a GREAT question, but I don't have an answer. Perhaps someone reading this will respond to me and let me know if the E3 Pikachu is available when you buy the magazine at a newsstand. > 4. Is there a first edition E3 pikachu? No. Only unlimited. > 5. Are there any other E3 cards? No. Lv12 Pikachu was the only card to receive this marking. > 6. Are there E1 or E2 cards? No. "E3" stands for "Electronics and Entertainment Expo" (www.e3.com) This is a major convention for REALLY COOL companies (including WOTC and Nintendo). This card was apparently manufactured to distribute during this convention as a promotion. It was later re-distributed via Nintendo Power. Brian Brokaw
