07Why Collectors Want It

  • A full-art Pikachu print from 2019's Cosmic Eclipse, the SM-era's final set that closed the Tag Team GX mechanic with cross-region pairings.
  • Raw ~$181 vs. PSA 10 ~$2,119 — a clean ~12× grading multiple; SM-era full-foil centering and edge wear are the usual downgrades.
  • Sits in the era's chase-tier secret slot rather than the regular checklist's Pikachu prints.
  • A natural pickup for any modern Pikachu collector building the SM-era closing chapter.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern ultra/secret rare; PSA 10 populations are moderate and grading is common for higher-value pulls.

Holo scratching and centering are the usual downgrade culprits; graded gem-mint copies trade above raw.

Other graders: CGC and BGS both grade modern ultra-rares; PSA leads on resale liquidity.
