The collector's take on Pikachu EX
Is Pikachu EX worth grading?
So is it worth sending this one in? Here is the honest breakdown. A raw, ungraded copy sits at $1,199, while a PSA 10 commands $1,866, which works out to about 1.6x the raw price. That jump is real money, but gem mint is not a given. Grade 9 copies actually sell for $698, less than the raw card, which shows how much value gets concentrated at the very top grade and how much it drops off if the corners or centering are not quite perfect. Grading costs money and takes time, and there is no refund if your card comes back a 9 instead of a 10. If you already own a sharp looking copy and you know what to look for under bright light, it can be worth the gamble. If you are unsure, it is perfectly fine to enjoy it raw and let someone else take that risk.
How rare is Pikachu EX?
Across every grading company combined, only 2,974 copies of this card have been graded, and of those, 1,917 have earned the coveted PSA 10 label. That is a big chunk of the population sitting at the top, which tells you two things. First, this card holds up well when it survives untouched over the years, since so many end up gem mint. Second, with a population this contained overall, every graded copy carries some weight, there simply are not thousands upon thousands floating around. Scarcity like this is a big part of why Pikachu EX price stays firm rather than drifting downward the way more common cards do.
Where can you pull Pikachu EX?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we watch actual pack openings across sites rather than just quoting price guides. We have recorded Pikachu EX pulled 20 times so far, spread across collector-crypt and courtyard, and it has turned up in packs like the Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack, Starter Pokemon Gacha Pack, and Pokemon Pro Pack. Worth noting though, the biggest recorded pull value we have logged for it is just $46, which is a world away from the $1,199 it fetches on the secondary market. That gap is a good reminder that pulling a card and pulling real value are two different things, and opening packs chasing a card like this is a gamble where the odds rarely favor you. Most collectors who own a Pikachu EX bought it outright rather than rip it from a pack.
Questions people ask
How much is Pikachu EX worth?+
A raw, ungraded Pikachu EX 1st Edition #94 is valued at $1,199 right now. Once graded, the price shifts depending on the grade, a Grade 9 sits at $698 while a PSA 10 reaches $1,866, so condition really does drive the final number here.
Is Pikachu EX worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 1.6x the raw price at $1,866 versus $1,199. But Grade 9 copies actually go for less than raw, at $698, so grading is really only worth the cost and risk if your copy looks close to flawless already.
Why is the Pikachu EX 1st Edition #94 print worth more than the standard one?+
The 1st Edition stamp ties this print directly to the original Japanese 20th Anniversary release, and with only 2,974 total copies graded across all conditions, it sits in a tighter, more collected pool than later reprints. That combination of anniversary significance and limited graded population is what keeps its value ahead of standard prints.
