VALUE
What is Pikachu VMAX #188 from Vivid Voltage worth?
Two different numbers answer this, and they are not interchangeable. Raw/ungraded: a loose, ungraded copy of Pikachu VMAX #188 (Vivid Voltage) carries a market reference of $177.20 USD for the holofoil printing (TCGplayer market price, as of 2026-09-11). Graded slabs: a graded example is priced per grading company and per grade and can sit far above that raw figure - documented public sales on file for this card run from $330.00 (PSA 10, 2026-09-02) to $400.00 (CGC 10 Pristine, 2026-09-01), each listed with its source below. Both are references, not offers.
