# Pikachu #101 — SVP Black Star Promos

## Summary

Pikachu is the safest name in the hobby, with a fan base that spans every generation and never needs persuading. Promo printings sit outside the booster chase, so demand comes from completists and mascot collectors, and Jiro Sasumo is a name collectors recognize. At a $38 modelled guide, down 7% over 30 days on 42 copies traded, with 44 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.32 out of Ascended Heroes; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
