PSA card pop goes up for 3 reasons: either people want the card graded for their own collection; they want the card graded to make a profit; or they’re doing it to authenticate the card (and as we’ve seen recently PSA aren’t very good at doing this with autographs). A low pop on a card from a set which isn’t very profitable more often than not means that people aren’t interested in grading it, but it doesn’t mean that there isn’t someone out there who would be willing to pay high for it. As a Pichu collector I’m happy to pay a premium for PSA 10 Pichu cards from any set, but being a niche card not many people grade these anyway - and even if they did I’m not going to buy a second copy of a PSA 10 I already own. In terms of the question in the thread: I put together a [PSA End of Year 2019 Report](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/pichufans-end-of-year-2019-psa-report-with-charts/25273/1) in December last year which collated a load of population data. The thing which surprised me the most was that Kricketune, a Pokémon which had been introduced back in 2007 and has appeared in 12 different sets which PSA grade has had no cards sent in to PSA whatsoever. That’s still the case. There’s no love for Kricketune. Using the same data I took in 2019, it was unsurprising that Charizard and Pikachu take the top 2 spots for most graded Pokémon overall, however it did surprise me that Mew ties 2nd place with Pikachu. --- _[View the full topic](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/what-pokemon-cards-have-psa-pops-that-suprised-you/28952)._
