Raw market price

Why this card matters
pop
Promo status removes reprint pressure, but 409-card set & zero graded pop means no verified scarcity signal. Raw $700 vs JP ¥420k (~$2.8k) gap suggests illiquid, not rare.
demand
Pikachu carries evergreen character pull, but 'Pretend Grunt' is a niche costume variant with no visible collector cohort driving sustained bids. No graded sales to confirm depth.
artist
Holo finish on a Pikachu costume promo is inherently appealing; JP exclusive presentation adds import mystique. Art appeal is real but not a rare/landmark illustrator moment.
catalyst
30d momentum is flat at 0%. Comp sales (PSA 10 $20-24, BGS 10 $53) are sparse and far below raw ask. No event, reprint scare, or trend event visible to move the needle now.
