ME: 30th Celebration · Pikachu Rare · Holofoil
Pricier than 82% of the cards we track in this set · at the bottom of its 12-month range ($1.22–$49.99)
Its interest score of - out of 100 is driven most by price steadiness — jumpy price. Blue bars pushed the score up, red bars pulled it down. The ingredients are weighted by how well each one has actually predicted price moves in this market, measured on your own price history rather than assumed. Could not be measured for this card: 1-month trend, unusual move, 2-month trend, 4-month trend — the score is worked out from the rest.
Is this card interesting right now?
Not scored
This card does not trade often enough for the signals to mean anything, so it is left unscored rather than given a misleading number.
Why is it interesting?
Jumpy price and well off its highs
The price lurches around, so what you pay depends heavily on timing. It sits well below its high of the past year.
Is it becoming more popular?
Not enough history
We do not have enough price observations for this card to compare it with the market.
Is it expensive or cheap?
$3.93 - expensive for its set
At $3.93 it is expensive for its set - number 30 of 161 by price. Against other Pikachu Rare cards it sits at the 97th percentile - toward the top. It is 1172% below its 12-month high. Worth knowing: in this market cards near their highs have gone on to do better than deeply discounted ones, so a big discount is not automatically a bargain.
What makes this card unusual?
Pikachu Rare - genuinely scarce
Only 30 of the cards we track are Pikachu Rare - under 0.1% of the catalogue. This is the Holofoil printing, which is priced as a completely separate market from the other printings of the same artwork. The set is brand new - prices this early are driven by hype and packs still being opened, and usually settle downward.
Could you actually buy or sell it?
Easily - it trades often
The price changed in 59% of our checks over the past year across 17 observations. TCGplayer's market price only updates when a copy sells, so a low figure means the price shown may be stale and any trend reading is built on very few real sales.
Is grading worth considering?
No
At $3.93 raw, grading costs roughly $22.00 - more than the card itself. Only worth it for sentimental reasons. This is a rule of thumb from the card's raw price, age and price stability. We track raw ungraded prices only - no graded sales and no population data - so this cannot tell you what a PSA 10 of this card is worth. Check a graded price guide before spending money.
No forecast for this card. The forecast layer only scores cards with enough trading history to model. This one does not have it yet.
