The collector's take on Pikachu
Is Pikachu worth grading?
So is Pikachu worth grading? Right now a raw, ungraded copy sells for $9, and a PSA 10 is valued at $1,377, which works out to about 161.4 times the raw price. That is a genuinely big jump, and it is easy to see why people are tempted to send copies in. But gem mint 10s are never a sure thing, grading takes time and costs money no matter what grade comes back, and in this case a Grade 9 is actually valued higher at $4,250 than a PSA 10, which is a good reminder to check current numbers rather than assume PSA 10 is always the top outcome. If your copy already looks sharp, centered well with clean corners and edges, it is a reasonable gamble. If it has any wear, you might be better off keeping it raw or selling as is.
How rare is Pikachu?
Across every graded copy on record, 7,157 total copies of Pikachu have been submitted and graded, and of those, 1,377 have come back a PSA 10. That is a decent share of gem mint copies within the graded population, which tells you this card can hit top grade with some regularity when submitted, but the overall pool of 7,157 graded copies is still small compared to how many raw copies are likely out there ungraded. That population data is exactly what underpins the price guide numbers you see on this page.
Where can you pull Pikachu?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, since we record real pulls across pack sites rather than relying on guesswork. We have logged Pikachu being pulled 3 times across packs and phygitals, with the biggest recorded pull worth $134. If you are hoping to pull this one yourself, the packs where we have actually seen it surface are Pikachu, I choose you! and elite-pack. Three recorded pulls is a small number though, so realistically most people who own this card bought it on the secondary market rather than ripping it from a pack. Worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips do not cover what you paid, so treat any pull of a card like this as a nice surprise, not something to plan around.
Questions people ask
How much is Pikachu worth?+
A raw, ungraded Pikachu World Championships #225 is currently valued at $9. Graded copies are worth considerably more, with a Grade 9 sitting at $4,250 and a PSA 10 at $1,377, so condition and grading status make a big difference to Pikachu price.
Is Pikachu worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth about 161.4 times the $9 raw price. That said, grading costs money whether or not you hit gem mint, and with 7,157 total graded copies on record, it is worth checking your copy's condition closely before sending it in.
How much is a PSA 10 Pikachu worth?+
A PSA 10 Pikachu is valued at $1,377. Out of 7,157 total graded copies, 1,377 have reached that gem mint grade, so it is achievable but not guaranteed for every submission.
