# Pikachu #241/236 — Cosmic Eclipse

## Summary

Pikachu is the franchise mascot, so a Secret Rare of it pulls in collectors well beyond the tournament crowd. Cosmic Eclipse hid it in the rarest slot past the numbered set, and Hitoshi Ariga's name on the credit line adds a layer of respect. At a $218 modelled guide, down 4% over 30 days on 127 copies traded, with 33 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.31 out of Temporal Forces; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $1,876 and a 23% observed gem rate putting about $290 of expected profit per submission.
