Pikachu #SM234 FAQs: Price, Grading & Collecting

Answers about Pikachu #SM234 from Sun & Moon Black Star Promos — live market value, pull rates, PSA grading returns and tournament legality.

Over the last 30 days, an ungraded Pikachu has moved down 1.3% to $23.70. PSA 10 copies are unchanged over the same period.

Pikachu #SM234 is a Promo, one of the higher rarity tiers in Sun & Moon Black Star Promos.

At $23.70 raw, you need a PSA 10 to profit. A PSA 10 sells for $1,212.90, giving a net return of +$1,003.52 after grading costs and selling fees. PSA 9 returns +$44.89 and PSA 8 returns −$10.64, so a PSA 9 or 10 can profit, while anything below that loses money on this card.

PSA have graded 1,169 copies of Pikachu #SM234, of which 193 came back as PSA 10. That is a gem rate of 16.5%, or roughly 1 in 6.1 graded copies.
