# Pikachu #48/162 — BREAKthrough

## Summary

Pikachu is the franchise's face, so even a common Basic from the XY era carries a draw that bulk pulls rarely do. Its Agility coin flip never made a competitive list, so demand rests on Kouki Saitou's name and Pikachu completionists. At a $1.27 modelled guide, up 20% over 30 days on 183 copies traded, with 980 days of inventory sitting on the board, 76% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.30 out of Ascended Heroes; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
