# Pikachu #027/078 — Pokémon GO

## Summary

Pikachu is the franchise's face, so even a bulk common from the Pokémon GO set draws buyers who want every version, and N-DESIGN's name adds a small curiosity for illustrator completists. As a common it was filler in a pack, never a chase slot. At a $0.39 modelled guide, down 13% over 30 days on 214 copies traded, with 35 days of inventory on the board, 18% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.32 out of Temporal Forces; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
