Pikachu — collector's take
Is Pikachu worth grading?
Here is the honest breakdown: a raw, ungraded copy of this Pikachu is worth about $3, a Grade 9 climbs to $38, and a PSA 10 sits at $400, which works out to roughly 148.7 times the raw price. That is a real jump, and it is exactly why people ask about grading in the first place. But gem mint is called gem mint for a reason. Getting a 10 means the card has to come back from the grading company with no visible flaws, and Pikachu Holo prints are notoriously fussy about centering and surface marks, so plenty of nice-looking copies end up as Grade 9 or lower. Add in the grading fees and turnaround time, and it only really makes sense to send this one in if your copy looks genuinely sharp under a light. If it has soft corners or edge wear, you are usually better off keeping it raw or selling as is.
How rare is it?
Across all grading companies combined, there are 2,777 total graded copies of this Pikachu on record, and only 521 of those have earned the coveted PSA 10 label. When you put those two numbers side by side, it tells you that a gem mint copy is genuinely the minority outcome, not the norm, even though this card has been graded thousands of times. That gap between total population and PSA 10 population is a big part of why the price jumps the way it does at the top end. Scarcity at the gem mint tier is really what is driving this Pikachu's higher value, not scarcity of the card itself.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we do not just rely on price guides, we watch actual pack pulls happen across real sites. Pikachu has been pulled 200 or more times across collector-crypt, mnstr, courtyard, packs, and tilt-rips, so it is far from a rare sighting if you are opening packs regularly on those platforms. It has turned up in products like the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Mythic Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pack 2, Pokémon VIP (Spicy), and XY Evolutions, and the biggest recorded pull of this exact card hit $3,950. That said, it is worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips do not come close to that number. If you are chasing this Pikachu specifically, tracking real pull data like ours is a much better guide than hoping blind.
Questions people ask
How much is Pikachu worth?
A raw, ungraded copy of the Pikachu Holo #28 from the Go set is worth about $3. Once graded, the price climbs fast: a Grade 9 sits at $38, and a PSA 10 reaches $400, which is close to 148.7 times the raw value.
Is Pikachu worth grading?
It depends on the condition of your copy. The jump from raw to PSA 10 is significant, but with only 521 out of 2,777 graded copies hitting that gem mint mark, a 10 is far from guaranteed. If your card already looks clean and sharp, grading can pay off, but it is a real gamble with lower grades if there is any visible wear.
What set is Pikachu from?
This Pikachu Holo #28 comes from the Go set, released in 2022, and it was illustrated by Narumi Sato. It carries Holo Rare status, which is part of why collectors keep an eye on its value even at the raw level.
