Expect a mega battle for this treasured Pokémon card. The 2000 Tropical Mega Battle Tournament took place in Honolulu, Hawaii. After the inaugural Tropical Mega Battle was restricted to participants from Japan and the U.S., the 2000 version opened up to Latin American and other Asian countries. Each competitor received a copy of this Lucky Stadium card featuring artwork commemorating the beachy locale of the tournament by fan-favorite illustrator Kouichi Ooyama. The exact print run of these cards is unknown, though it’s believed 42 players competed in the tournament. What is known is that this is one of only 10 to earn a PSA 10 Gem Mint grade, ensuring plenty of Pokémon collectors will be entering the bidding arena in an attempt to add this Lucky Stadium to their personal Pokédex.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 10/09/24.
