Pikachu

Based on live asking prices we track on eBay, fair value for a Pikachu PSA 10 sits around $2,281 right now, with current asks ranging from about $2,055 to $5,006 across 8 live listings. Keep in mind asking prices usually run a little above what cards actually sell for, so treat this as a well-informed guide, not an appraisal.

Early but real: since we started tracking it on October 1, fair value has moved from $2,338 to $2,281 — down about 2%. That's a short window, so treat it as directional rather than a trend. Fair value here is a trimmed median of live asks, recomputed a few times a day — the chart on this page has the whole line.

As of our last sweep, 8 live eBay listings passed our identity checks for this exact slab, asking from $2,055 delivered (item + shipping). That's our radar's verified view, not all of eBay — listings without clear photos or a provable match don't count, and sellers list and delist all day. Every one we see is in the Available Now rail on this page.

It's the Pikachu from SM Black Star Promos, card number sm162, professionally graded 10 by PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator). The grade and cert number on the slab make this exact card identifiable and priceable — that's why our radar tracks graded copies only.

Grade is most of the story: a single grade step can move the price dramatically, and even within one grade, listings differ on seller reputation, photo quality, and shipping. That spread is exactly what our radar watches — when someone lists a legitimate copy well below the going rate, it shows up on our deal board. Card grading, explained simply →

Right now our Deal Radar sees 8 live listings for this card priced at least 10% below the fair value we compute — they're badged in the Available Now rail on this page. Every purchase happens on eBay, with eBay buyer protection.

Right now the PSA 10 sits around $2,281 and the PSA 9 around $340, based on live asking prices we track — about 572% more for the higher grade. Collectors pay for the jump because top grades are scarcer and hold attention; whether that jump is worth it is your call. If you mostly want the card, the PSA 9 is the value play — if you want the ceiling, it's the PSA 10. See the PSA 9 price guide →
