# Raichu #RC9/RC32 — Generations

## Summary

Raichu sits in the Radiant Collection subset of Generations, a side gallery where even commons got the shiny-binder treatment, so it pulled more attention than a normal common ever would. Gen I fans keep Pikachu's evolution in steady demand, and Aya Kusube is a familiar name to illustration-minded collectors. At a $16 modelled guide, up 6% over 30 days on 63 copies traded, with only 12 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.23 out of Ascended Heroes; no PSA population is on file.
