Pikachu Reverse Holo #86 value & price

Tap to open
Pikachu is the card that got most of us into this hobby in the first place, and the Reverse Holo #86 from the 2002 Legendary Collection set is a lovely little tribute to that. It is a Common by rarity, illustrated by Ken Sugimori, but don't let that fool you: the Pikachu value on this one runs well beyond what most Commons ever see, and collectors chase it precisely because it captures that classic look with a shiny reverse foil twist.

The collector's take on Pikachu
Is Pikachu worth grading?
If you're wondering whether Pikachu is worth grading, the honest answer starts with the raw price: $898 for an ungraded copy versus $233,328 for a PSA 10, which works out to about 260.0x the raw value. That gap is real money, but gem mint is genuinely hard to land on a 2002 card that has spent two decades in binders, boxes and trade folders. Before you send one off, factor in grading fees, turnaround time, and the very real chance it comes back a Grade 9 rather than a 10, since a Grade 9 sits at $10,151, a big step below PSA 10 but still a meaningful jump from raw. Grade honestly assessed copies with sharp corners and clean surfaces, and think of grading as a calculated bet, not a guaranteed payout.
How rare is Pikachu?
Across all grading services, only 1,961 copies of this Pikachu have been graded, and just 46 of those hold a PSA 10. When you sit with that math for a second, it becomes clear why the jump in price from raw to gem mint is so steep: fewer than 50 copies in the entire known population have been certified as pack fresh perfect. That kind of population scarcity is exactly what drives long term Pikachu price strength, since demand for this card has never really faded and the pool of top grade copies stays this tight.
Where can you pull Pikachu?
Our tracking shows Pikachu has been pulled 8 times across recorded sites, all from collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $650. We've seen it turn up in the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack and the Bronze Pokémon Gacha Pack, so it is out there, but pulling it live is genuinely rare rather than something you can count on. Most people who end up owning this card buy it on the secondary market rather than ripping it themselves, and that's worth remembering before you chase it through packs: opening packs is fun, but it is gambling, and most rips do not come close to covering their cost.
Questions people ask
How much is Pikachu worth?+
A raw, ungraded copy of the Pikachu Reverse Holo #86 currently sits at $898. Once graded, the value climbs fast: a Grade 9 is worth $10,151, and a PSA 10 reaches $233,328, which reflects just how much gem mint condition matters on this card.
Is Pikachu worth grading?+
It can be, if your copy is genuinely close to perfect, since a PSA 10 is worth 260.0x the raw price. But only 46 of the 1,961 graded copies have hit that top grade, so weigh the grading cost and the odds honestly before you send it in.
Why is the Pikachu Reverse Holo #86 print worth more than the standard one?+
The reverse holo pattern makes this print a rarer parallel within the Legendary Collection set, which naturally pulls in more collector demand than the plain non-holo version. That extra scarcity and visual appeal is a big part of why its price sits above what you'd expect from a simple Common.
