Pikachu #SM162 is one of those promo cards that pops up in a lot of collections almost by accident, and yet everyone seems happy to have it. It comes from the Promo set, which means it was never locked away in a single booster line, and that history is part of why so many people search for a Pikachu #SM162 value check before deciding what to do with theirs. Right now a raw copy sits at $139, which is a solid starting point for a card with this kind of reach.

The collector's take on Pikachu #SM162

Is Pikachu #SM162 worth grading?

If you are wondering whether Pikachu #SM162 is worth grading, the honest answer is: it depends on what you pull out of that top loader. A raw copy sits at $139, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way up to $1,888, which works out to about 13.6 times the raw price. That is a real gap, but gem mint 10s are hard to land, centering and edges have to be near perfect, and grading fees plus turnaround time and shipping risk are all real costs you eat before you know the result. Interestingly, a Grade 9 on this card is actually valued higher still at $4,991, which is a good reminder that grading outcomes and market prices do not always move in a straight line, so it pays to look at current numbers before you submit rather than assume.

How rare is Pikachu #SM162?

Across every submission on record, 11,264 copies of Pikachu #SM162 have been graded, and of those, 1,888 came back as PSA 10. That tells you gem mint copies exist in real numbers, but they are still a distinct minority of everything that has gone through grading, which keeps demand steady for clean, well centered raw copies too. Scarcity like this is part of what keeps the Pikachu #SM162 price meaningful even outside the graded market, since collectors chasing a PSA 10 know they are competing for a genuinely limited slice of the population.

Where can you pull Pikachu #SM162?

This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we do not just quote a price guide, we watch actual pack rips happen across real sites. Pikachu #SM162 has been pulled 35 times in our records, showing up on courtyard and mnstr, with the biggest recorded pull worth $109. It has turned up in packs like the Pokémon Pro Pack, Wildcard Starter Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, The Amazing Chase Encore, and the Pokémon Starter Pack, so if you are chasing this one from wax, those are the products where our data actually shows it landing. Worth saying plainly though: opening packs is a gamble, most rips do not beat what you paid, and pulling this specific card is far from guaranteed even from those exact products.

Questions people ask

How much is Pikachu #SM162 worth?+

A raw, ungraded Pikachu #SM162 currently sits at $139. Graded copies are worth quite a bit more depending on the grade, so the condition of your specific card really does change the number.

Is Pikachu #SM162 worth grading?+

It can be, since a PSA 10 is valued at $1,888, roughly 13.6 times the $139 raw price, and Grade 9 copies are currently sitting even higher at $4,991. Just weigh that against grading fees and the real chance your copy does not come back at the top grade before you send it in.

How much is a PSA 10 Pikachu #SM162 worth?+

A PSA 10 Pikachu #SM162 is worth $1,888. Out of 11,264 total graded copies on record, 1,888 have earned that gem mint 10, so it is a real but limited slice of the overall population.
