Pikachu #160

Well, duh. If there were ever a card destined to become collectible, it was this Pikachu. Look at it! It’s got everyone in it! Honestly, I’m shocked this is hovering around $40, although right now that’s likely because it’s not so hard to pull. Once Crown Zenith is off sale, I would guess this is a card that’ll see its value climb and climb.

It’s a peculiar card for another reason: This is Crown Zenith’s only Secret Rare. For reasons best known to The Pokémon Company International, PTCG collections come with cards it likes to pretend don’t exist, numbering them over the claimed total number of cards in the set. Check the bottom of the image above and you’ll see this is 160/159. In recent sets, we’ve grown used to seeing a good handful of so-called Secret Rares like this, but this time out—likely because of the eye-watering 70 cards in the Galarian Gallery (over the familiar 30 in a Trainer Gallery)—things were just getting silly.

It’s an astoundingly useless card for the game, in my opinion. By the time you’ve got three energies attached for that 90 damage, you’ll likely have already had it defeated or evolved. But damn, it’s one of the most cheerful cards I’ve ever seen, and I wouldn’t part with one for those $40.

Ungraded: $39.81
