# Surfing Pikachu #111/108 — Evolutions

## Summary

Surfing Pikachu is a Secret Rare that sat beyond the main Evolutions set, a bonus chase slot that gave a replica of the original Base Set era's most beloved promo a place in modern pull sheets. Pikachu is the franchise face, and nostalgia for the surfing variant drives steady collector demand. The modelled guide sits at $12, up 24% over 30 days on 237 copies traded, with 190 days of inventory on the board; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $437 and a 21% observed gem rate putting about $22 of expected profit per submission.
