Summary

This is a beautiful, pack-fresh example of the Gold Hyper Rare Pikachu ex from Surging Sparks. The card is in pristine condition across its edges, corners, and surface, but is slightly held back by left-to-right centering.

ROI

PSA is more lenient on centering than BGS or CGC, allowing up to 60/40 on the front for a GEM MINT 10. While a 9 is the most likely grade due to the 60/40 back centering, there is a small chance it could still grade a 10 at PSA. Given the high popularity of Pikachu chase cards, grading is highly recommended to protect and increase its value.
