This 2023 Pokémon Pikachu from the Scarlet & Violet 151 set is a high-grade example of one of the most recognizable Illustration Rares in the modern hobby. Numbered 173/165 and featuring art by Hiroyuki Yamamoto, the card captures the nostalgia-heavy theme of the 151 release, which returned the franchise to its original Kanto roots. This copy is graded a CGC Pristine 10, a designation held by only 87 cards in the current population, making it a standout for collectors focused on condition-sensitive modern hits. The Illustration Rare tier serves as a primary chase for this set, emphasizing unique, art-forward depictions of fan favorites rather than standard battle poses. Given that the 151 set remains a cornerstone of the Scarlet & Violet era with sustained community interest and a rising status in the franchise's history, this Pikachu carries real upside for those tracking the set's top-tier cards. Recent market value for this card is approximately $728.22, reflecting its solid position as a sought-after mascot card from a landmark release.Show more
