# Pikachu VMAX #SWSH062 — SWSH Black Star Promos

## Summary

Pikachu VMAX is the Gigantamax payoff of the mascot himself, so demand starts with the most reliably loved Pokémon there is. As a promo it sits outside the normal pack hierarchy, which means it's valued as a Sword & Shield launch-era keepsake rather than a pull. The modelled guide sits at $15, down 7% over 30 days on 96 copies traded, with only 27 days of inventory on the board; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $166 and a 63% observed gem rate putting about $0.44 of expected profit per submission, and the slabbed population is growing 4% a month, faster than 91% of tracked cards.
