A PSA 9 Pikachu Illustrator heads into Heritage Auctions’ September 18-19 Trading Card Games Signature Auction (#7459) amid strong recent comps that have reset market expectations for the “holy grail” 1998 CoroCoro promo. Only about 39–41 copies exist, with PSA certifying just 15 at Mint 9 and one higher; the lone PSA 10 fetched a record $16.49 million in February, while a separate PSA 9 realized $1.406 million at Heritage in March and another changed hands privately for $2.7 million on August 31. Bidding is already live on the upcoming lot, and traders are pricing in sustained collector demand for top-tier Pokémon cards despite broader market cooling since 2021. The imminent hammer price will directly test whether the latest private-sale momentum holds or reverts toward the $1–1.4 million auction range.
