Pikachu is the face of the franchise, and certain Pikachu cards are among the most valuable collectibles in the world - the Pikachu Illustrator has sold for over a million dollars. Most Pikachu cards are more modest, but many vintage promos and special prints carry strong value.

We buy every Pikachu card, raw or graded, and price each one on current market data.

Pikachu's status as the franchise mascot means special prints, promos, and illustration rares attract intense, lasting collector demand.
