06Current Market Value

07Why Collectors Want It

• An H-prefixed (Holo subset) print from 2003's Skyridge — the final e-Card set, with notoriously short distribution and the era's signature ultra-thin sealed-product supply.
• Raw ~$251 vs. PSA 10 ~$2,773 — a clean ~11× grading multiple driven by Skyridge holo scarcity.
• Skyridge holos are among the most fragile WotC-era foil prints in the entire dex; gem-mint copies legitimately scarce a generation later.
• A vintage Pikachu-line cornerstone — one of the most photographed Skyridge holos in the entire e-Card era.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Raichu with 80 HP; top attack around 50 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.

Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
