30th Celebration Pikachu Printable Overlays (Digital Download)

Thirty years of Pokémon. One yellow electric mouse who started it all. Time to say it like you mean it: Pikachu, I choose you!

The 30th Celebration Pikachu Rares are some of the most charming cards Pokémon has ever printed. There are thirty of them, painted in wildly different styles, and each one is its own little world: sunlit forests, starry meadows, storm-lit cities, heaps of autumn leaves. These printable overlays give every one of those worlds room to breathe. Each overlay carries its card's scene out to the very edge of the frame, so your Pikachu Rare stands in a true full-art layout that matches the original illustration.

Every overlay has a precision-cut art window that frames your real card's artwork, and nothing touches the card. Slip the overlay in front of the card, sleeve it, and the whole page of your binder turns into a gallery. Now enjoy your card as a full art, sleeved and protected!

What's included

• High-resolution, print-ready PDFs with full-art overlays for all 30 30th Celebration Pikachu Rares, from 01/30 to 30/30, each matched to its own card
• Three sizes for wherever your collection lives: standard pocket (penny sleeves and binder pages), VaultX pocket, and 3 × 4 in toploader
• US Letter and A4 versions of every size, laid out to fit as many overlays per sheet as possible
• A print-and-cut guide with a 10 mm scale check, paper picks, cutting order and troubleshooting, so your first sheet comes out right

Sizes

From PDF to full art in four steps

1. Print at 100% (Actual size) on glossy or holographic card stock made for inkjet, around 200–250 gsm. Holographic stock gives the closest look to a real full art.
2. Check the 10 mm scale bar in the footer of your first sheet. If it measures true, your printer didn't resize anything.
3. Cut on the dotted lines: the art window first with a craft knife and metal ruler, then the outside edge.
4. Slide the overlay in front of your card, art side out, and sleeve, pocket or toploader the pair together.

Print a single sheet or the whole set, and reprint any overlay whenever you like for your own collection.

Frequently asked questions

What are printable card overlays?

A printable card overlay is a paper insert that sits in front of a trading card inside a sleeve or toploader. A cut-out window frames the card's original art, while the printed overlay fills the rest of the frame with matching artwork. Your card becomes a full art, sleeved and protected, and the card itself is never touched.

Which cards are these overlays for?

All 30 Pikachu Rares from the Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration set, numbered 01/30 through 30/30. Each overlay is designed around one specific card and its illustration.

Do these overlays damage my cards?

No. Nothing sticks to the card. The overlay simply rests in front of it inside the sleeve, pocket or toploader, and comes out any time.

What paper should I print on?

Glossy or holographic card stock made for inkjet printers, around 200–250 gsm. Glossy gives the shine of a real card; holographic gives the full-art foil look. Set your printer's paper type to glossy photo and let the ink dry fully before cutting: about 15 minutes on glossy, 30 on holographic.

Will these fit VaultX binders and toploaders?

Yes. The download includes separate files sized for standard pockets and penny sleeves, VaultX pockets, and 3 × 4 inch toploaders.

No. This is a digital download only. After checkout you get a download link by email, and you print the files at home or at a local print shop.
