Raincoat Pikachu promo drops from $8.4 million to $1,037,000 in weeks
A 2015 Japanese Art Academy 'Raincoat Pikachu' promo, one of 100 copies and graded PSA Gem Mint 10, sold for $8.4 million on Fanatics Collect in late September, then resold for $1,037,000 at Goldin, an 87% drop, Men's Journal reports.
An 87% round trip looks dramatic, but one card moving between two auction houses tells you little about the wider Pikachu market; the $16,492,000 Illustrator record still stands. Talk that the same buyer won both sales makes the $8.4 million print look less like a real market level. Treat headline 'first sales' of one-of-100 promos with caution.
Our read, from the people who buy and sell these cards. Opinion, not financial advice.
