Raichu V is the #34 pull from the Japanese Star Birth set, a cheerful electric-type card that a lot of collectors pick up simply because Raichu has always had a soft spot in Pokemon history. If you are digging into Raichu V value, the honest answer is that it sits in budget territory raw, but the story changes fast once grading enters the picture. It is not a card that makes headlines, but it is the kind of steady, collectible piece that fills out a Star Birth binder nicely.

The collector's take on Raichu V
Is Raichu V worth grading?
Here is where it gets interesting: a raw copy of Raichu V books at $2, a Grade 9 sits at $12, and a clean PSA 10 climbs all the way to $127, which works out to 58.5 times the raw price. That is a genuinely big jump, and it is the reason so many people ask if Raichu V is worth grading in the first place. But gem mint is never guaranteed, grading fees and shipping add up, and a card that comes back a 9 instead of a 10 will not cover much beyond itself. If you already own a copy that looks sharp under a light, no whitening on the edges, centered well, it is worth considering. If you are buying raw copies specifically to grade and flip, treat it like any gamble: know the odds before you spend.
How rare is Raichu V?
Across all grading companies combined, only 1,270 copies of Raichu V have been graded, and of those, 947 are already sitting at PSA 10. That is a striking ratio: the vast majority of graded copies hit the top grade, which tells you this card grades relatively well when it is submitted in good shape. It also means PSA 10 status alone will not make a copy rare among graded examples, the real scarcity is in finding a raw copy worth grading at all, or one that has not already been snapped up and sent in.
Where can you pull Raichu V?
We have tracked 161 real pulls of Raichu V across pack sites including tilt-rips, courtyard, and lastpack, so we know this card does turn up, just not constantly. The biggest recorded pull value from those hits was $103, a reminder that even a modest card like this can land nicely graded. It has shown up in Pokemon Mini Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, and Pokémon Master Pack listings, so if you are chasing it through packs rather than buying it outright, those are the pack types to watch. Worth saying plainly: opening packs for a specific card is a gamble, and most rips do not beat the price of the pack, so go in with eyes open and treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Raichu V worth?+
A raw, ungraded Raichu V is valued around $2. Once graded, a Grade 9 runs about $12, and a PSA 10 gem mint copy is worth $127. The price of Raichu V really depends on condition and whether it has been through grading at all.
Is Raichu V worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth 58.5 times the raw card, jumping from $2 to $127. The catch is that grading costs money and time, and there is no guarantee of a 10, so it makes the most sense if your copy already looks close to flawless.
What set is Raichu V from?+
Raichu V is card #34 from the Japanese Star Birth set, a release that Pokemon collectors know well for its clean, colorful V cards. It is a set worth knowing if you are building out a Japanese collection alongside English cards.
