Tap to open
Pikachu might be the most recognized character in the entire hobby, so it is no surprise collectors keep searching for Pikachu value even on a common card. This one comes from the 1999 Jungle set, illustrated by Ken Sugimori, and carries the 1st edition mark on card 60. Raw copies sit at $22, which feels almost modest for a card with this much cultural weight, but the numbers change fast once grading enters the picture.

The collector's take on Pikachu
Is Pikachu worth grading?
Here is where it gets interesting. A raw Pikachu runs $22, but a PSA 10 brings $521, which works out to about 23.6 times the ungraded price. That sounds like an easy decision until you look at Grade 9, which actually sits higher at $1,388, a reminder that grading outcomes do not always move in a straight line and that demand at each grade tier can shift the math. Sending a card in costs money and time, and there is no guarantee it comes back gem mint rather than a 9 or lower, so before you grade, think about what you are chasing: a specific number, or simply the best return for the risk.
How rare is Pikachu?
Across every grading company combined, 8,344 copies of this Pikachu have been graded, and only 1,022 of those made it to PSA 10. That is a fairly small slice of an already limited graded population, and it tells you gem mint copies are genuinely hard to come by, not just expensive because someone decided they should be. When a card is this old and this beloved, condition census numbers like these are usually the real reason the top grade commands what it does.
Where can you pull Pikachu?
We track real pulls across pack opening sites here at PackSpy, and Pikachu 1st Edition has not shown up in any of our recorded openings so far. That fits with what we would expect from a card this old and this scarce in top condition, it simply is not circulating through modern pack breaks. If you want this one, the realistic path right now is the secondary market rather than hoping for a pull, and that is worth knowing before you spend money chasing it in packs, since opening packs in general is a gamble where most rips do not pay for themselves.
Questions people ask
How much is Pikachu worth?+
A raw, ungraded Pikachu from Jungle is worth $22. Once graded, the value jumps significantly, with Grade 9 copies reaching $1,388 and PSA 10 copies valued at $521. With 8,344 total graded and only 1,022 at PSA 10, condition plays a big role in what you can expect to get for one.
Is Pikachu worth grading?+
It depends on what copy you have. A PSA 10 is worth about 23.6 times the raw price, which sounds appealing, but Grade 9 copies are currently valued even higher at $1,388. Grading costs money regardless of the outcome, so it is worth weighing the population numbers and your card's condition honestly before sending it in.
Why is the Pikachu 1st Edition #60 print worth more than the standard one?+
The 1st edition mark signals a card from the earliest print run of the Jungle set, and collectors have always placed extra value on that piece of history. It is a common card by rarity, but the 1st edition stamp and the character himself keep demand steady, which is part of why raw, Grade 9, and PSA 10 values all sit where they do.
