# Pikachu #034/128 — 30th Celebration

## Summary

Pikachu is the franchise's face, so any printing finds a home, and a tier named for the mascot itself marks this as a deliberate celebration pull rather than filler. USGMEN's cute, rounded style suits the subject, and a Pikachu-count attack rewards decks built around the mouse. The sold median sits at $0.84, down 22% over 30 days on 4,856 copies traded, with only 2 days of inventory on the board; no PSA population is on file, and a ACE 10 would fetch about $44 against $49 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
