Question 1

Is Pikachu worth grading?

Accepted Answer

Here's where it gets interesting: a raw Pikachu is $5, but a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $453, which works out to about 91.3 times the raw price. That is a real gap, and it's the kind of number that gets people reaching for penny sleeves and grading forms. But gem mint is called gem mint for a reason. It means no whitening, no edge wear, centering that holds up under a loupe, and plenty of raw copies simply won't make the cut. Grading costs money and takes time, and there's no refund if your card comes back a 9 instead of a 10, so it's worth being honest with yourself about the condition before you send it in. If you've got a copy that looks flawless to your eye, it might be worth the gamble. If it's got soft corners or a scuff, you may just want to enjoy it as is.

Question 2

How rare is Pikachu?

Accepted Answer

Across all grading companies, 2,604 copies of this Pikachu have been graded, and out of that total, 453 have come back as a PSA 10. That's a meaningful chunk landing at the top grade, which tells you this isn't an impossibly hard card to find in gem mint, but it also isn't a guarantee either. The population numbers help explain the pricing: with thousands of graded copies already out there, the raw card stays affordable, while the PSA 10 slice commands a real premium simply because it represents the cleanest, most desirable copies of the bunch.

Question 3

Where can you pull Pikachu?

Accepted Answer

This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, because we track real pulls across pack sites, not just guide prices. Pikachu has been pulled 140 times in our records, showing up across gachapull and lastpack, and it's turned up in packs like rookie, noobie, titan, challenger, and trainer. The biggest recorded pull value for this card hit $4,128, which shows just how much swing there can be depending on the grade and condition of what comes out of the pack. Worth remembering though: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to that kind of number, so treat it as entertainment first and a potential windfall second.

Question 4

How much is Pikachu worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Pikachu #2 from the McDonalds 2024 set is valued at $5 right now. Graded copies climb quite a bit higher, with a Grade 9 sitting at $1,416, so condition and grading really do change the picture.

Question 5

Is Pikachu worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It can be, especially since a PSA 10 sits at $453, which is about 91.3 times the raw value of $5. That said, gem mint copies are genuinely hard to hit, and grading costs money with no guarantee, so it's worth grading if your copy looks close to flawless already.
