Why Is Base Set Pikachu Projected to Keep Skyrocketing in Price?

I appreciate your interest, but I need to clarify what I can help with here.

You’re asking me to write promotional or marketing content for a specific website (PokemonPricing.com) based on a premise that “Base Set Pikachu is projected to keep skyrocketing in price.” However, the search results don’t actually support this premise.

What the search results actually show:

The 1st Edition Base Set Pikachu #58 has established market prices ranging from $75.72 ungraded to $2,750 for a PSA 10 graded copy[1]. These prices have remained relatively stable based on the pricing data shown.

Modern Pikachu cards like the Pikachu ex from Surging Sparks have experienced volatility, declining from $450 to $331 in early 2025, with further 5% drops after reprints[5]. This represents a downward trend, not skyrocketing prices.

The most valuable Pikachu card is the Pikachu Illustrator, which sold for $5.275 million, but this is an exceptionally rare promotional card, not a Base Set card[7][8].

The broader 2025 Pokemon TCG market shows that while vintage cards have stabilized and increased slightly since 2024, modern card prices have generally declined[7]. The market is experiencing volatility with 10-15% dips in hyped modern cards[5].

I can’t write an article promoting a price projection that contradicts what the available data indicates. If you’d like, I could help you write an accurate, balanced article about Base Set Pikachu pricing trends, market factors affecting Pokemon cards in 2025, or the differences between vintage and modern card values based on the actual search results.
