Why this card matters

pop

PSA 10 commands a 95x premium over raw and only n=2 sold comps suggest genuine high-grade scarcity, but 63 active listings and modest mid-grade premiums (PSA 8 barely beats raw) keep overall scarcity moderate.

demand

Pikachu's iconic nostalgia and broad collector base sustain steady baseline demand, though this is a promo variant rather than a mainline set card, tempering the pull slightly.

artist

Standard holo promo illustration with no notable alt-art, special artist signature, or distinctive visual departure that elevates collector desirability beyond the character itself.

catalyst

30-day momentum is sharply negative at -40% with a thin PSA 10 sample of only n=2, making any price signal highly fragile and the near-term setup unfavorable.
