# Pikachu #60/106 — Emerald

## Summary

Pikachu is the franchise's face, so even a bulk common from the Emerald set carries a little pull for nostalgic collectors and Pikachu completists. Masakazu Fukuda is a long-serving Pokémon illustrator, and a basic with a coin-flip Paralysis attack was filler, never a deck-maker. The modelled guide sits at $16, down 3% over 30 days on 56 copies traded, with 43 days of inventory on the board; a ACE 10 brings $532, 34 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
