How many Pikachu PSA 9 listings are live right now?

As of our last sweep, 46 live eBay listings passed our identity checks for this exact slab, asking from $243 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.

What card is this exactly?

It's the Pikachu from SM Black Star Promos, card number sm162, professionally graded 9 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.

Why do prices for the same card vary so much?

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 →

Where can I find one below market price?

Right now our Deal Radar sees 25 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.

Is the PSA 10 worth the premium over the PSA 9?

Right now the PSA 10 sits around $2,281 and the PSA 9 around $325, based on live asking prices we track — about 602% 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 10 price guide →
