Raw market price
$93est.
Why this card matters
pop
Promo-only JP release, no reprint pressure, 17.8y old — but graded pop is near-zero and raw comps are sparse; supply feels scarce yet unverified at scale.
demand
Spiky-eared Pichu is a beloved, event-exclusive Pikachu-family variant with strong nostalgia pull — but niche JP promo limits mainstream Western collector reach.
artist
Holo finish adds tactile appeal on a cute, fan-favourite alternate-form Pichu; art is charming but not a landmark composition. Finish elevates an otherwise modest score.
catalyst
30d momentum is dead flat at 0%. Graded comps (CGC 10 $11, PSA 9 $3) are shockingly low vs. $93 raw — signals illiquid, fragile pricing with no active catalyst.
