Vintage Artbox Pokémon Sticker - C'mon, We Need Help! (Pikachu's Vacation Series)

This is a rectangular adhesive sticker featuring the character Pikachu from the Pokémon 'Pikachu’s Vacation' animated short. The item is oriented vertically and displays a vibrant orange-to-yellow gradient background with sand-like textures. The central artwork depicts Pikachu in a dynamic, slightly panicked pose with wide eyes and an open mouth. Visible text includes the Pokémon logo in the upper left corner, 'C'mon, We Need Help' in a red typeface along the right margin, and the 'Pikachu's Vacation' logo in the bottom right corner. The sticker is made of a standard coated paper or vinyl material with a semi-gloss finish. Regarding its physical condition, there is significant edge wear visible, particularly at the top and bottom corners, showing the white paper substrate beneath the printed layer. A notable crease or indentation is visible near the top right corner. These factors indicate a 'Good' to 'Very Good' condition grade but not 'Mint' or 'Near Mint.' This item likely dates back to the late 1990s or 2000, coinciding with the release of Pokémon: The First Movie. The printing is standard mass-production quality for the era, utilizing a CMYK process common for licensed collectibles.
