A badge says what is behind the number. cert-verified means PSA sales each tied to a specific slab you can check by serial; sold means completed eBay or Fanatics listings; modelled means no verified graded sale exists and the figure is derived from the raw price and reference guides — a ceiling to check, not a price to quote. reviewed was set by hand after reading the sales record.

How many exist, and at what grade

PSA's cumulative census for this card — the same population behind the ladder above and the grading verdict below.

PSA 10 · gem mint

PSA 9

Total PSA graded

every grade, all time

  • PSA 693 graded
  • CGC 488 graded
  • TAG 25 graded

The census is cumulative and counts resubmissions, so it skews toward nicer copies and overstates the gem rate a first submission should expect. Treat it as the ceiling.

The odds of pulling one

Pikachu is a common card — a guaranteed slot in every pack rather than a rarity gamble, so there is no pull-odds figure for it.

Is Pikachu worth grading?
