+

Pikachu #43/95 is trending up: $198.84 today, up 170% in 30 days and at its highest since we began tracking (2024-02-08), set 2026-10-17, and 12.6x its low of $15.80 (2025-05-08).

A 30-day rise this size usually follows a supply squeeze or a new format result; check the eBay book depth before buying in.

What is the all-time high price for Pikachu?

+

TickerMint began tracking Pokemon prices on 2024-02-08, after Pikachu came out, so these are the highest and lowest prices since we began tracking (2024-02-08), not all-time records. In TickerMint's daily data (since February 2024), the TCGplayer market price for Pikachu [Reverse Holofoil] (all conditions) peaked at $198.84 (2026-10-17) and bottomed at $15.80 (2025-05-08).

Is Pikachu #43/95 worth grading?

+

Grading Pikachu #43/95 pays only if you expect a 10: PSA 10 copies are listed from $1,399.00 on eBay (eBay asks checked Oct 24, 2026) vs $198.84 raw (TCGplayer market), and after a $25 grading fee, $10 shipping and 13% selling fees you'd need about 1 in 30 copies to grade a 10 to break even (a 4% chance). That assumes a 9 or lower sells like a raw copy. "Listed from" is the lowest current PSA 10 asking price on eBay, not a sale, and asks can sit above what copies actually sell for. Whether your copy grades a 10 depends on its centering, corners, edges and surface.
