Why this card
Pikachu SWSH234 from SWSH Black Star Promos is a real raw-to-PSA hunt. PSA has 210 10s out of 1260 graded (16.7% gem rate), which is hard enough that cherry-picked centering still has an edge. Raw sits around €72 against a €3075 10. This print is no longer on the pegs — raw supply is whatever the secondary market still holds. Submission EV is about €633 after Value-tier fees — buy the cleanest raw you can find and send it.
