2005 POKEMON EX EMERALD #60 PIKACHU PSA 10
Price: $1,499.99
Pikachu from EX Emerald, card number 60, clocks in as a common rarity, and this one’s sitting pretty in a PSA 10 slab. Yeah, it’s the little electric mouse that started it all, but in this printing, it’s got that classic vibe without overdoing it.
The artwork keeps it simple—Pikachu mid-stride, cheeks sparking, like it’s about to zap something off-screen. That pose just lands right, doesn’t it? No frills, but it captures the essence.
On the card text side, it’s a Basic Lightning type with 50 HP. Attacks are straightforward: Thundershock for 10 damage with a coin flip to Paralyze, and Slam for 20 times the number of heads on two coin flips. Weak to Fighting, resists nothing obvious, retreat cost of one. Keeps battles quick and punchy, especially in those early EX era decks where you’d chain evolutions.
EX Emerald dropped in 2005, part of the Ruby & Sapphire block’s wind-down. What makes this printing stand out? It’s from a set loaded with holo energy and those emerald-bordered rares, but this Pikachu slipped in as a non-holo common. Not the flashiest, but it’s a clean callback to the basics amid all the EX mechanics and Crystal Pokémon hype. Collectors dig it for filling out full set runs, especially since Emerald had shorter print runs compared to some contemporaries, making pristine copies a bit trickier to nail down.
Slab-wise, PSA 10 means gem mint all around—edges sharp, surface flawless, no whitening or print defects. Centering’s likely dead-on, giving it that eye appeal where the borders frame Pikachu perfectly without any tilt. Pop reports put PSA 10s for this one around 250 last I checked, which isn’t massive for a common, but hey, not every copy survives in top shape after nearly two decades.
I’d stash this in a display case next to some evos, just to watch the lineup spark.
