Why this card matters
pop
PSA pop is massive: 9,802 PSA 10s & 14,931 PSA 9s from 28,773 total. Huge graded supply kills scarcity. Recent active set adds ongoing submission pressure.
demand
Pikachu is the apex Pokémon IP anchor. SIT format drives premium collector pull. Broad crossover demand from casuals to whales sustains floor, but saturation tempers ceiling.
artist
Special Illustration Rare finish with full-art immersive scene. SIR treatment on Pikachu ex is a high-prestige print; elevated perceived collectibility well above standard ex treatment.
catalyst
Only +7% over 30d — modest, not surging. BGS 10 comps are wildly inconsistent ($1K–$23K), signaling thin, unreliable high-grade market. No confirmed macro event pending.
