Tap to open
Pikachu from the 1999-2000 Base Set is one of those cards that needs no introduction, the little yellow mascot that got a whole generation into this hobby in the first place. This particular printing, card #58, is a common illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, and even though 'common' usually means cheap, Pikachu has always carried a bit of extra weight with collectors. If you're wondering what Pikachu is worth today, a raw copy sits at $17, which tells you this is a card people buy for the memory as much as the money.

The collector's take on Pikachu
Is Pikachu worth grading?
So is it worth sending Pikachu off to get graded? Here's the honest math: a raw copy runs $17, a Grade 9 brings that up to $73, and a true PSA 10 gem mint copy is valued at $483, which works out to 29.3x the raw price. That's a real jump, and it's tempting. But only 55 out of 237 graded copies have actually landed a PSA 10, so gem mint is far from a sure thing on a card this old, centering and print quality on Base Set commons can be unforgiving. Grading fees and turnaround time are real costs too, so if your copy has any visible wear or off-center printing, it might make more sense to enjoy it raw than gamble on a grade that doesn't come back.
How rare is Pikachu?
Across every submission on record, only 237 copies of this Pikachu have been graded, and of those, just 55 have earned a PSA 10. When you put that next to how many of these cards were printed and opened back in 1999 and 2000, it puts things in perspective, most copies floating around never got submitted at all, and the ones that did don't always come back perfect. That's part of why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw and Grade 9 numbers: gem mint survivors from this era are genuinely thin on the ground.
Where can you pull Pikachu?
PackSpy has tracked 140 pulls of this Pikachu across pack sites, showing up in gachapull and lastpack, and turning up in packs named rookie, noobie, titan, challenger, and trainer. The biggest single pull we've recorded hit $4,128, which is a nice reminder that even a common card can land a surprising outcome depending on condition and grade. That said, pulling packs is a gamble more often than not, most rips don't come close to that number, so if you're chasing this Pikachu specifically, keep an eye on where it's been showing up rather than assuming any pack is a sure bet.
Questions people ask

Is Pikachu worth grading?+
It depends on the copy. A PSA 10 is worth 29.3x the raw price, but only 55 of the 237 graded copies on record have hit that grade, so it's worth being honest with yourself about centering and surface quality before you pay for grading.
How much is a PSA 10 Pikachu worth?+
A PSA 10 copy of this Pikachu is valued at $483. That's a big step up from the $17 raw price, but gem mint copies are genuinely rare, with only 55 out of 237 graded copies achieving that grade.
