# Pikachu VMAX - SWSH286 #SWSH286 — Jumbo cards

## Summary

Pikachu VMAX is the face of the franchise at its biggest, and a promo of it appeals to collectors who want the mascot above all else. The Jumbo format is a display piece rather than a playable card, so demand comes from fans, not from the tournament scene. The modelled guide sits at $5.61, down 17% over 30 days on 2 copies traded, with 1,060 days of inventory sitting on the board; no PSA population is on file, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
