Why this card matters

pop

76 raw listings suggests moderate availability, but the steep PSA 9→10 premium implies gem-mint copies are genuinely rare; PSA 10 n=1 is too thin to call truly scarce.

demand

Raichu carries strong nostalgia and iconic Pokémon status, but Base Set 2 is the less-coveted reprint set versus OG Base Set, capping collector urgency.

artist

Standard Ken Sugimori-era illustration with no alt-art or unique creative distinction; aesthetic appeal is nostalgic but not a standalone driver.

catalyst

20.3% 30-day momentum is notable but the PSA 10 price anchor rests on a single sale, making the apparent breakout statistically fragile.
