Prerelease Raichu

Less than 10 exist I think. There's an article on it here somewhere.

Pikachu Illustrator without a doubt followed closely by PR Base Raichu.

The Prerelease Raichu and the Pikachu Illustrator are definatly the most desireable cards in English and Japanese, but the rarest are (in Japanese) the 1997 trophies (2 copies of each) and (in English) the Worlds Number 1, 2 and 3's which are unique every year and have 3 copies of each made.
