Graded Prices for Pikachu
Buying a slabbed copy costs noticeably more: a PSA 10 Pikachu runs about $450.00, roughly 58x the price of a raw card. Step down a grade and the price drops: PSA 9 around $45.00, CGC 9.5 around $16.51, PSA 8 around $46.00. If a Gem Mint slab is out of budget, a PSA 9 or CGC copy is often the cheaper way to own a graded version.
