# Pikachu #051/128 — 30th Celebration

## Summary

Pikachu is the face of the franchise, so any Pikachu printed for an anniversary celebration draws buyers on mascot status alone. Nagimiso is a name collectors follow, and an attack that snipes the Bench was a real deckbuilding option for a Basic that cheap. The sold median sits at $0.50, up 2% over 30 days on 5,098 copies traded, with only 3 days of inventory on the board; no PSA population is on file, and a CGC 10 would fetch about $34 against $45 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
