Recent record-setting sales of the ultra-rare Pikachu Illustrator have established strong seven-figure benchmarks for PSA 9 copies, directly shaping trader expectations ahead of the Heritage Auctions Trading Card Games Signature Auction on September 18-19. The March 2026 sale of a comparable PSA 9 for $1,406,250 at the same house, following the lone PSA 10's $16.49 million February result, reinforced the card's status as Pokémon's "holy grail" amid its extreme scarcity—only about 39 printed, with 15 graded PSA 9. Bidding is already live, and the Pokémon TCG's 30th anniversary timing adds promotional momentum, though thin population means any single result can reset perceived value. Traders are watching for final hammer price inclusive of buyer's premium against these recent comps.
