# Pikachu #055/217 — Ascended Heroes

## Summary

Pikachu is the franchise's face, so even a plain common pull carries a built-in audience of mascot collectors who want every printing in a set. It sits at the bulk tier, where kamonabe's name and the Pikachu pull, not rarity, decide whether it earns a binder slot. The sold median sits at $0.28, flat over 30 days on 3,148 copies traded, with only 8 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $25, 90 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
