Pikachu #5/12 FAQs: Price, Grading & Collecting

Answers about Pikachu #5/12 from McDonald's Collection 2017 — live market value, pull rates, PSA grading returns and tournament legality.

Over the last 30 days, an ungraded Pikachu has moved down 1.5% to $29.79. PSA 10 copies are unchanged over the same period.

At $29.79 raw, you need a PSA 10 to profit. A PSA 10 sells for $135.00, giving a net return of +$59.66 after grading costs and selling fees. PSA 9 returns −$34.87 and PSA 8 returns −$33.31, so anything below a 10 loses money on this card.

PSA have graded 133 copies of Pikachu #5/12, of which 5 came back as PSA 10. That is a gem rate of 3.8%, or roughly 1 in 27 graded copies.

Yes. At a 3.8% gem rate, Pikachu grades worse than the McDonald's Collection 2017 average by 0.8 points. Clean copies are harder to come by.
