Raichu has always been one of those cards that makes collectors stop and look twice, and this particular version, the 1st Edition #14 from the 1999 Fossil set, is a favorite for good reason. It carries Mitsuhiro Arita's artwork, that coveted 1st edition stamp, and a Rare designation that still holds weight decades later. If you are trying to pin down Raichu value today, a raw copy sits around $100, which tells you this is a card people actively watch and trade.

The collector's take on Raichu

Is Raichu worth grading?

So is it worth sending Raichu off to get graded? Here is the honest math: a raw copy runs about $100, while a PSA 10 comes in at $173, which works out to roughly 1.7 times the raw price. A Grade 9 actually lands higher at $1,465, which is a reminder that grading outcomes do not always move in a straight line the way you would expect. Grading costs money and takes time, and there is no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint, so if your raw Raichu already looks sharp in the corners and centering, it might be worth the gamble, but go in knowing a 9 or a 10 is never promised.

How rare is Raichu?

Across all grading submissions, there are 5,938 graded copies of this Raichu on record, and only 257 of those have earned a PSA 10. When you put those numbers side by side, it becomes clear just how few copies made it through grading in perfect condition. That kind of gap between total population and gem mint population is exactly why a PSA 10 commands the premium it does, scarcity at the very top does the heavy lifting on price.

Where can you pull Raichu?

This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we do not just repeat price guide numbers, we watch real pack sites pull real cards. Raichu has shown up 200 or more times across sites like tilt-rips, courtyard, lastpack, collector-crypt, packs, and mnstr, with one recorded pull hitting $1,025. It has turned up in products like the Pokemon Premium Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, and Wildcard Starter Pack, so if you are chasing this one from a live rip rather than buying it outright, those are the kinds of packs worth keeping an eye on. Just remember that pack opening is gambling dressed up as a hobby, most rips do not come close to covering their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.

Questions people ask

How much is Raichu worth?+

A raw, ungraded Raichu 1st Edition #14 is valued around $100. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 sitting at $1,465 and a PSA 10 valued at $173, so condition and grading really do change the picture.

Is Raichu worth grading?+

It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth about 1.7 times the raw price, but gem mint copies are genuinely hard to pull off, with only 257 PSA 10s existing out of 5,938 total graded copies. Weigh the grading cost against your card's condition before you send it in.

Why is the Raichu 1st Edition #14 print worth more than the standard one?+

The 1st edition stamp marks it as part of an early, more limited print run, and collectors have always placed extra weight on that detail from the original Fossil set. It is that combination of the stamp, the set's age going back to 1999, and Raichu's lasting popularity that keeps demand steady for this printing.
