Pikachu ex Special Illustration Rare
No surprises here. It’s the card that’s put brainworms in every collector’s head
The price has been on a bit of a journey since we reported its $500 tag on November 11, from which it climbed even higher to almost $600, before whooshing back down again over the last week to currently sit at $463
It’s on a pretty sharp decline, so don’t expect that price to hold, either. It’s already idiotically inflated, given it’s just a decent ex card with quite a pretty piece of art that just caught fire due to the mimesis of collectors. It’s obviously no more powerful than the $8 regular version, which is what you should buy if you want that 300 attack in your deck, and if you’ve got the SIR to sell, sell it now before everyone entirely comes to their senses. And for god’s sake, don’t buy it at this price.
That it ever reached such highs will likely cause the price to remain artificially inflated for a while to come, but I bet my trousers this’ll be down to $200 by December, and then gently drift down further by the New Year.
