# Pikachu #033/128 — 30th Celebration

## Summary

Pikachu is the franchise's face and the anniversary set's natural mascot, so a rarity tier named for it carries an obvious pull for fans. Narumi Sato is a familiar name in Pokémon illustration, and a Bench-protecting Basic invites casual deck-building more than serious tournament play. At a $0.64 sold median, down 15% over 30 days on 5,035 copies traded, with only 3 days of inventory on the board, 55% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.29 out of Ascended Heroes; no PSA population is on file, and a ACE 10 would fetch about $80 against $49 in grading fees.
