Raikou #50 value & price

Tap to open
Raikou is the electric tiger of the Vivid Voltage set, an Amazing Rare that landed in 2020 with striking artwork from Hideki Ishikawa and instantly became one of those cards collectors point to and say 'that one.' If you're digging into Raikou value right now, here's the short version: it's a $7 pickup raw, but that same card in a PSA 10 holder is fetching $7,753, which tells you everything about how much grade matters here. It's not the rarest card ever printed, but the gap between casual and gem mint condition makes it a genuinely interesting one to track.

The collector's take on Raikou
Is Raikou worth grading?
So is Raikou worth grading? The honest answer is: it depends on what you're holding. A raw copy sits around $7, a Grade 9 jumps to $4,217, and a clean PSA 10 sells for $7,753, which works out to roughly 1178.3 times the raw price. That's a massive spread, but it only pays off if your card is genuinely gem mint, no whitening on the edges, no surface scratches, centering that holds up under a loupe. Grading costs money and takes time, and there's real risk your card comes back a 9 instead of a 10, which is still solid but nowhere near the same payday. If you've got a copy that looks flawless to your eye, it's worth sending in. If it's got soft corners or a scuff you're hoping nobody notices, save your grading fee and enjoy it raw.
How rare is Raikou?
Across all grading companies combined, there are 17,347 graded copies of Raikou on record, and of those, 9,461 have come back as a perfect PSA 10. That's actually a pretty generous slice landing at the top grade, which tells you this card, while not easy to grade perfectly, isn't a nightmare either for anyone with a clean pull. What that population spread really does is keep the raw price grounded while letting PSA 10 copies command a real premium, since collectors chasing gem mint condition still have to compete for a meaningfully smaller pool than the total number floating around.
Where can you pull Raikou?
Here's the thing about Raikou: PackSpy tracks real pack pulls across sites, and so far we haven't recorded this one coming out of a live rip anywhere we track. That doesn't mean it's impossible to pull, but it does mean it's rare enough, or elusive enough in the packs people are actually opening, that most collectors end up buying it on the secondary market rather than pulling it themselves. If you're hoping to hit one from a pack, know that you're chasing something we haven't yet logged, and treat any pack opening as entertainment first, not a guaranteed way to land this card.
Questions people ask
How much is Raikou worth?+
A raw, ungraded Raikou is valued around $7. Once graded, the price climbs fast: a Grade 9 sits at $4,217, and a PSA 10 gem mint copy is valued at $7,753. So the real answer depends entirely on the condition and whether it's been graded.
Is Raikou worth grading?+
If your copy is genuinely flawless, yes, since a PSA 10 is worth about 1178.3 times the raw price. But grading costs money and there's no guarantee of a perfect result, so it's really only worth it for cards that look gem mint before you even send them in.
What set is Raikou from?+
Raikou #50 comes from the Vivid Voltage set, released in 2020. It's an Amazing Rare, illustrated by Hideki Ishikawa, which is part of why the artwork stands out so much compared to a standard holo.
