I’ve been tracking the PSA pop on a quarterly basis and any public sales of the 2009 Design Contest. Obviously, anyone can look up the pop at any time. But these are really interesting to track because they grow slowly. I will update this thread quarterly Recent sales will be added soon. | | 9/30/2026 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 7/19/2025 | 7/1/2026 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | Auth | 1 | 1.5 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 8.5 | 9 | 10 | Total | | Total | Total | | Arceus 3rd Grade | | | | | 1 | 1 | 1 | | 2 | 1 | | 5 | 10 | 21 | | 13 | 21 | | Arceus 4th Grade | | | | | | | 1 | | 1 | 1 | | 1 | 4 | 8 | | 6 | 6 | | Arceus 5th Grade | | | | | | | | | | | 1 | 6 | 2 | 9 | | 8 | 9 | | Arceus 6th Grade | | | | | | | 1 | | 1 | 1 | | 2 | 4 | 9 | | 9 | 9 | | Arceus Corocoro Comic | | | | | | | | | | 4 | | 2 | 6 | 12 | | 8 | 8 | | Arceus Corocoro Ichiban! | | | | | | | | | | | | 13 | 23 | 36 | | 26 | 36 | | Arceus Shonen Sunday Magazine | | | | | | 1 | | | 3 | 4 | | 1 | 2 | 11 | | 9 | 10 | | Spikey-Eared Pichu 1st Grade | | | | | | | | 1 | | 2 | | 2 | 2 | 7 | | 6 | 7 | | Spikey-Eared Pichu 2nd Grade | 1 | | | | | | 1 | | 4 | 3 | | 5 | 1 | 15 | | 8 | 14 | | Spikey-Eared Pichu Kindergarten | | | | | | | | 1 | 1 | 5 | | 1 | | 8 | | 7 | 7 | | Spikey-Eared Pichu Pokemon Fan | | | | | | | | 1 | 2 | | | 1 | 3 | 7 | | 6 | 7 | | Spikey-Eared Pichu Pucchigumi | | | | | | 1 | | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 7 | 3 | 16 | | 14 | 15 | | Spikey-Eared Pichu Televi-Kun | 1 | | | | 2 | | | 1 | 1 | 2 | | 6 | 4 | 17 | | 12 | 15 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Total | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 16 | 25 | 2 | 52 | 64 | 176 | | 132 | 164 | * * * Total copies graded since I’ve been tracking 7/1/25: Arceus 3rd Grade -8 Total - 4(1), 5(1), 7(1), 9(1) 10(4) Arceus 4th Grade -2 Total - 7(1), 10(1) Arceus 5th Grade -1 Total - 9(1) Arceus 6th Grade -0 Total - Arceus Corocoro Comic -0 Total - Arceus Corocoro Ichiban! -14 Total - 8(2), 9(3), 10(9) Arceus Shonen Sunday Magazine -2 Total - 8(2) Spikey-Eared Pichu 1st Grade -1 Total - 6(1) Spikey-Eared Pichu 2nd Grade -7 Total - Auth(1), 5(1), 7(1), 8(2), 9(2) Spikey-Eared Pichu Kindergarten -1 Total - 8(1) Spikey-Eared Pichu Pokemon Fan -1 Total - 9(1) Spikey-Eared Pichu Pucchigumi -2 Total - 8(1), 8.5(1) Spikey-Eared Pichu Televi-Kun -5 Total - Auth(1), 6(1), 7(1), 8(1), 9(1), 10(1) ---

The 2009 contest is such an incredible set and they will always have a special place in my heart. If it’s any use to you for tracking, this is a comparison from ~ September 2021. ![image](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/4X/f/c/d/fcd5a19b8fbc097ce3021cd3fff2e03cb5dc5b45.jpeg) And as for the population in 2012, it was pop 1 for each card :pikawink: ---

Another case of a set passing me by, then when i learn about it - all the cards are out of reach. This hobby can be so unforgiving sometimes haha ---
