# Pikachu #050/128 — 30th Celebration

## Summary

Pikachu is the franchise's face, so a Pikachu-specific rarity tier in a 30th Celebration set pulls demand from fans, not just players. Shimaris Yukichi's name adds illustrator-chasing interest, and a Basic with a four-energy attack suggests this print is about collectability rather than competitive weight. The sold median sits at $0.80, down 36% over 30 days on 4,763 copies traded, with only 2 days of inventory on the board; no PSA population is on file, and a CGC 10 would fetch about $24 against $45 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
