PriceCharting store page: Pikachu [World Championship 2026] #93. Ungraded algorithm $29.00 (-$8.00). Algorithm, not a sale. PSA 10 cell still blank. Clean September 1 singles: $29.99 / $29.99 / $23.99 / $32.00 / $34.27 / $24.95 / $25.00. Skip $53.00 (lot2 in the title). August 31: $26.00 / $24.99 / $19.99 / $41.00. Window closed. Secondary is still dumping. The print followed it down.

Winner stamp is a second page: Pikachu [World Championship 2026 - WINNER] #93. Ungraded print $160.00. No September 1 row this pass. Latest clean rows stop at August 30 $199.99 / $160.00. That is the Winner stamped SKU. Not the GameStop handout. Do not paste $160 onto the store card.

September 1 raw titles that keep 116/084: $275.00 / $200.00 / $225.00 / $284.53 / $199.99 / $270.00 / $197.50 / $200.00 / $234.99 / $217.50 / $210.00. Band about $197.50–$284.53.

Keep slabs off the raw ledger.

tw.portal-pokemon.com posted the Pokémon RUN 30 finisher prize terms today (September 2). Each participant who completes the run receives one Pokémon RUN Pikachu promo card at the finish line. Event calendar (posted June 3 on the official site): Taichung Central Stadium October 17–18, Kaohsiung Era Boulevard October 31–November 1, New Taipei Metropolitan Park November 14–15. All three are Taiwan 30th Anniversary stops. Not a year-round series.

Official terms state the card is non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash or other items. The Pokémon Company reserves the right to change event terms at any time without notice. The card may be distributed at other events in the future without prior notice. Very clear: non-transferable. The desk will not print a market price. This is a 30th event handout. It does not have a Wave 1 SKU line. No card number. No rarity. If secondary listings appear, those are unofficial flows, not compliant pricing.

Store #093 still has no dated PSA 10 row. A falling print with thick raw solds means the denominator is moving. Submitting now mostly pads pop. Winner stamped has a tape, but no September 1 row and no graded cells this pass. Darkrai 10s hit $1,225 on September 1, under the algorithm print. Band still ugly. 30th certs wait for mid-September. Mega Lucario Z is still a tease.
