Pikachu V-Union - SWSH142: Rarity & Collectibility
Pikachu V-Union - SWSH142 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 #SWSH142 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-Union - SWSH142?
In 2026, a Near Mint Pikachu V-Union - SWSH142 (Common, SWSH: Sword & Shield Promo Cards #SWSH142) changes hands at roughly $5.82, 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 $5.82, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.21. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $5.82, Lightly Played $5.47, Moderately Played $2.89, Heavily Played $1.24, Damaged $1.21 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Pikachu V-Union - SWSH142 is valued near $86.00 — about 15x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Pikachu V-Union - SWSH142: 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-Union - SWSH142 sits around $86.00 — roughly 15x 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 $20.00, CGC 10 $299.99, PSA 8 $20.07 — 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.
