The collector's take on Pikachu
Is Pikachu worth grading?
So is Pikachu worth grading? The math is tempting: a PSA 10 sits at $20,003 while raw copies trade around $2,450, which works out to roughly 8.2 times the value if you land that perfect gem mint grade. But here is the honest part, a Grade 9 comes in at $2,258, which is actually a touch below what you could get selling the card raw. That gap between a 9 and a 10 is the whole story with this card. Grading costs money and takes time, and if your copy comes back a 9 instead of a 10 you may not come out ahead once fees are factored in. If you genuinely believe your copy is pack fresh and sharp, grading can pay off in a big way, but go in with your eyes open about the risk.
How rare is Pikachu?
Across all grading companies, 23,349 copies of this Pikachu have been graded, and 20,003 of those came back PSA 10. That is a striking number, it means gem mint copies actually make up the large majority of the graded population, leaving only a smaller slice, 3,346 copies, spread across Grade 9 and below. For collectors, that tells you PSA 10 alone will not make your copy rare on its own, since so many others hit that same mark. The real scarcity plays out in the lower grades and, more so, in finding a raw copy worth grading in the first place.
Where can you pull Pikachu?
We track real pulls across pack sites, and this Pikachu has shown up 200 or more times across collector-crypt, packs, mnstr, tilt-rips, courtyard, and lastpack, which tells us it is far from a myth pull. The biggest recorded hit came in at $16,200, a reminder of what is on the line when this card shows up in a rip. It has turned up in packs like the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, XY Evolutions, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pack 3, and the Pokemon Starter Pack. Worth saying plainly though, opening packs chasing this card is a gamble, most rips do not come close to covering their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.
