Question 1

Is Raichu worth grading?

Accepted Answer

So is it worth grading? Let's look at the math honestly. A raw Raichu goes for $5, and a PSA 10 sits at $58, which works out to about 10.9x the raw price, a solid jump on paper. But grading costs money up front, and you won't know the outcome until it comes back. If your copy lands a Grade 9 instead of a 10, you're looking at $15, which barely covers typical grading fees once you factor in shipping and time. The population numbers actually tell us gem mint isn't some impossible feat here, plenty of copies do come back perfect, but that doesn't remove the risk. If your card is genuinely sharp, centered well, no whitening on the edges, it's a reasonable gamble. If it's a little rough, the raw route makes more sense.

Question 2

How rare is Raichu?

Accepted Answer

Here's where the numbers get interesting. There are 2,251 total graded copies of this Raichu on record, and out of those, 1,826 are PSA 10. That's a big chunk of the graded population sitting at the top grade, which tells you this card tends to grade well when people submit it. It's not an ultra scarce card in the traditional sense, but that population data is exactly why the PSA 10 premium exists: collectors are paying for the confidence of a certified gem mint copy, not necessarily chasing something impossible to find.

Question 3

Where can you pull Raichu?

Accepted Answer

This is where PackSpy's tracking actually comes in handy, because price guides won't tell you this part. We've recorded Raichu pulled 200 or more times across courtyard, tilt-rips, lastpack, collector-crypt, packs, and mnstr, so it does show up in the wild with some regularity. The biggest recorded pull we've logged for this card hit $1,025, which is a nice reminder that even a modest card can have a memorable moment. It's turned up in packs like the Pokémon Master Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, The Amazing Chase Encore, and the Pokemon Starter Pack. Worth saying plainly, since it needs saying somewhere: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't beat what you paid, so treat any pull as a bonus, not a plan.

Question 4

How much is Raichu worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw or ungraded Raichu from the TCG Classic: Charizard Deck set is valued at $5. Once graded, the price climbs depending on the grade you get, topping out at $58 for a PSA 10. So the Raichu price really depends on condition and whether it's been certified.

Question 5

Is Raichu worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It can be, but do the math first. Raw sits at $5 and PSA 10 sits at $58, roughly a 10.9x jump, though a Grade 9 only brings $15. With 1,826 of the 2,251 graded copies already sitting at PSA 10, gem mint is achievable, but grading fees mean it's only worth it if your card is genuinely clean.

Question 6

How much is a PSA 10 Raichu worth?

Accepted Answer

A PSA 10 Raichu is valued at $58, which is about 10.9 times the raw card's $5 value. With 1,826 PSA 10 copies recorded out of 2,251 total graded, gem mint examples do exist in solid numbers, but that premium reflects real demand for top condition copies.

Grade	Value	Population	PSA / CGC
PSA 10 (Gem Mint)	$64	1,838	- / 1,838
PSA 9	$15	384	- / 384
PSA 8	-	41	- / 41
