**The upcoming Heritage Auctions Trading Card Games Signature Auction (September 18-19, 2026) features a PSA 9 Pikachu Illustrator, the hobby’s ultimate grail card.** Only about 39 copies exist from 1997-98 CoroCoro Comic illustration contests, with PSA confirming just 15 at Mint 9. Trader sentiment is anchored by the March 2026 Heritage result of $1.406 million for a comparable copy, the February 2026 $16.49 million record for the lone PSA 10, and a recent private PSA 9 sale reported at $2.7 million. These figures reflect sustained demand from collectors treating the card as a pop-culture trophy amid a strong TCG market. The September hammer price will reset comps for this tiny population, with bidding already live and the auction serving as the immediate catalyst.
