# Pikachu #044/128 — 30th Celebration

## Summary

Pikachu needs no introduction to anyone, and a Pikachu Rare in an anniversary set is the slot built for exactly that mascot pull. Akagi is the illustrator, and Agility is the classic Pikachu coin-flip attack, a nostalgic nod rather than a competitive tool. The sold median sits at $0.71, down 29% over 30 days on 5,082 copies traded, with only 3 days of inventory on the board; no PSA population is on file, and a ACE 10 would fetch about $48 against $49 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
