Each sale above is labelled with what its listing claimed, so you can see which ones describe the same object. Treat the median as the typical copy, not the range.

Should you grade it?

$44

Raw $1.05 → graded PSA 9$27.00, after ~$70.26 grading fee → 25.7× the raw value.

The odds

Pikachu is a Commoncard — a guaranteed slot in every pack, not a rarity gamble, so there's no pull-odds figure for it.

PSA 10 (gem mint)15.7%24 of 153
PSA 933.3%51 of 153
PSA graded so far153
Gem Mint 1024
Total graded153

Estimates only. Pack odds come from CardTrack's pack model (the same one behind the pack simulator) — not an official rate. Grading odds are the real cumulative PSA population, which skews toward nicer, resubmitted copies, so it overstates the true first-submission gem rate. Full grade-by-grade breakdown below.

PSA 9$27.00$70$4425.7×
PSA 8$16.80$70$5416.0×

Net = graded value − raw value − grading cost (tier fee + ~$20 round-trip shipping), using PSA fees as of 2026-06-28; the paused PSA Value tier is excluded so this isn't overstated. Real outcome depends on the grade achieved; PSA 10 is best-case.

Population across gradersPSA, CGC & BGS — every grade, with gem rates
