What Is Pikachu Worth?
Pikachu (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a Common card from the Arceus set, card number 71/99. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it carries real mid-range value and is worth keeping protected in a sleeve and top-loader.
Pikachu Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Pikachu (Arceus, 71/99) is worth around $27.50 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $27.50, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $6.95. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $27.50, Lightly Played $19.59, Moderately Played $15.80, Heavily Played $11.44, Damaged $6.95 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else. A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) example is valued near $1,500 — about 55x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $124.99.
Is It Worth Grading Pikachu?
Grading Pikachu can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($27.50) and a PSA 10 ($1,500) is about $1,473 — a 55x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $124.99. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
