Estimated value · Pack fresh
Based on 56 sold sales

The top 5% of this card's sales — pack-fresh examples — sold for $4.65 or more. That's about +87% over a typical Near Mint copy.

How do we work this out?

We take every real sale of this exact card over the last 12 months (56 sales), sort them by price, and read off the top 15% and top 5%. No multipliers, no guesses — the prices cleaner copies actually fetched.

Why cleaner copies cost more: buyers can see condition in the photos and pay for it. Listings sellers describe as pack fresh or gem mint land in this top band 1.7× more often than ordinary ones — the premium follows the card, not the hype.

Copies in this band are also the ones collectors send to grading: far more likely than a typical binder copy to be submitted at all — and to come back with the strong grade that carries the PSA prices shown on this page. That prospect is part of what buyers are paying for here.

These are read straight off this card's own completed sales — sort them by price and take the top 15% and top 5%. Whether your copy qualifies is a judgment made by looking at the card.

Recent Raw sales

From 244 completed sales recorded between May 5, 2023 and Sep 3, 2026. Sold prices only — asking prices are never counted. The median above is computed over the 208 sales of the printing this page lists; reverse holo copies are real sales of a different card and are shown separately rather than mixed in. The range is wide because these sales span different printings and conditions — 1st Edition, Shadowless and Unlimited copies all carry this card's name, and they trade at very different levels. 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.

Is Pikachu worth grading?

A gamble, not a profit

Most copies come back PSA 9worth $29 against the $73 you put in, a $44 loss. The money is in the 1 in 2 that reach PSA 9 or 10 and sell for $29$356. Averaged over every outcome that is +$5 a card.

Compare graders, and the live market

The verdict above is PSA's — the grader the population report, the ROI table and the price ladder on this page all use. Trader prices all three graders against each other and adds what the asking market is doing right now.

  • PSA, CGC and Beckett side by side — each on its own population and its own fees, with Beckett scored on the 9.5 its market actually pays for.
  • Lightly and moderately played — the same expected return for a copy that cannot gem.
  • Ask vs sold — what the live listings want, against what copies have really closed at.
  • Momentum — the 30-day median against the 90-day, per grade.
  • Where it sells higher — the Fanatics-versus-eBay premium, with the sale counts behind it.
  • Population history — the weekly PSA census, so you can see how fast 10s are arriving before you post the card.

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)16.3%60 of 368
PSA 943.5%160 of 368
PSA graded so far368
Gem Mint 1060
Total graded368

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.

⚖️ Risk-adjusted return

Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 357 PSA-graded copies:

OutcomeChanceValue
PSA 1016.8%$356.00
PSA 9typical43.4%$29.00
PSA 819.6%$18.00

PSA 64.5%$11.52
PSA 51.4%$6.00
PSA 40.8%$2.49
PSA 20.3%$2.49

Net = graded value − raw value − grading cost (tier fee + ~$20 round-trip shipping), using PSA fees as of 2026-08-26; the paused PSA Value tier is excluded so this isn't overstated. Gem rate is estimated from cumulative PSA population, which skews toward nicer, resubmitted copies — so it overstates the true grade rate. Treat it as a guide, not a guarantee.

What NM / LP / MP actually mean — and how much they cost

For context: a graded PSA 7 slab of this card sells for about $16 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
