07Why Collectors Want It

  • A 2023 collaboration between Pokémon and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, recreating Van Gogh's "Self-Portrait with Grey Felt Hat."
  • In-person distribution at the museum was cut short over crowd-control and reseller concerns, sharply limiting supply of the physical promo.
  • One of the most recognizable modern Pikachu promos, with appeal well beyond the usual TCG audience.
  • Raw Near Mint trades around the high hundreds; graded copies command strong premiums.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Pikachu with 60 HP; top attack around — damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

PSA 10 copies trade at a large premium over raw, reflecting the promo's crossover demand; centering and surface on the textured promo stock are common downgrade points. The market has been volatile since release — verify against recent solds.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
