Pikachu V - SWSH198: Rarity & Collectibility

Pikachu V - SWSH198 in its sought-after Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #SWSH198 of the SWSH: Sword & Shield Promo Cards set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.

How Rare & Valuable Is Pikachu V - SWSH198?

In 2026, a Near Mint Pikachu V - SWSH198 (Common, SWSH: Sword & Shield Promo Cards #SWSH198) changes hands at roughly $2.47, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $2.47, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.16. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $2.47, Lightly Played $1.44, Moderately Played $1.02, Heavily Played $1.17, Damaged $1.16 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Pikachu V - SWSH198 is valued near $71.00 — about 29x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.

Graded Pikachu V - SWSH198: Gem Mint & Population

Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Pikachu V - SWSH198 sits around $71.00 — roughly 29x a raw copy. That gap exists because relatively few examples ever earn a perfect grade, so gem-mint population is the real scarcity collectors chase. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $25.00, CGC 10 $35.00, CGC 9.5 $10.00 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
