What card is s6a 028 — is it Pikachu?

No. The payload's raw seller-listing name 'ピカチュウ' is Mercari noise. Card 028/069 in Eevee Heroes (s6a) is Voltorb (ビリリダマ), a Common-rarity Lightning Basic with 60 HP. Source: Bulbapedia Eevee Heroes set list, accessed 2026-05-09.

What is the current PSA 10 price for Voltorb s6a 028?

$188.69 USD on Poke10's Japan live index. Note 30-day PSA 10 trade volume is zero, so this is a reference quote only and may move on the next live trade. Source: Poke10 live Japan index, accessed 2026-05-08.

Why is a Common-rarity Voltorb worth $188?

JP Eevee Heroes Commons in PSA 10 carry a population-scarcity premium driven by limited PSA Tokyo grading throughput, not card-design demand. Raw NM/M Voltorb 028 trades $0.25-4.50 across TCG Republic and eBay (accessed 2026-05-09); the entire premium is the slab itself.

Who illustrated Voltorb 028?

Tomokazu Komiya, a long-running Pokemon TCG illustrator. The same artwork was reused in the English Fusion Strike reprint at 087/264. Source: Bulbapedia / pkmncards illustrator credits, accessed 2026-05-09.

Is there an English version of this card?

Yes. Voltorb was reprinted in English as Fusion Strike 087/264 (released November 2021), same Tomokazu Komiya artwork. EN PSA 10 trades meaningfully cheaper than JP given the much larger English print run.

Should I grade my raw Voltorb 028?

Generally no. Raw NM/M trades $0.25-4.50, while PSA JP grading + shipping costs about $37 per submission. Without published gem rate or PSA pop data the EV cannot be modelled positively at this price point — only set-completion graders should bother.

How many PSA 10 Voltorb 028 exist?

PSA pop not yet published for this card on Poke10's tracking. Poke10 will track once the first slabs grade and PSA's population report surfaces a meaningful figure. Until then, pop-scarcity claims are inferential.

Card Background & Set Context

Eevee Heroes (s6a) released 28 May 2021 as a Japan-exclusive Eeveelution-themed expansion; the set never received a direct English release, with Pokemon Company instead filtering its chase cards across multiple 2021-2022 English sets. The set's headline card is the Umbreon VMAX Alt Art (Moonbreon) at s6a 095. Voltorb 028 is one of the set's 069 main-set Commons — a Single Strike-style Lightning Basic with 60 HP, Lightning weakness x2, retreat 1, and a single coin-flip attack 'Single Shot Blast' that does 30 damage on heads. Illustrator Tomokazu Komiya is a long-running Pokemon TCG artist whose work spans Sword & Shield-era Single Strike cards and Scarlet & Violet expansions (Bulbapedia, accessed 2026-05-09). The character Voltorb itself is the original Gen 1 Electric Ball Pokemon (Pokedex 100), which gives the card a low base of nostalgia demand even at Common slot. The English reprint as Fusion Strike 087/264 in November 2021 absorbed almost all collector demand in the EN market, leaving the JP Eevee Heroes print as the scarcer collectible variant for set-completionists.

Investment Analysis

Voltorb 028 is a textbook low-pop JP Common case: raw NM/M trades $0.25-4.50 across TCG Republic, eBay and TrollAndToad (accessed 2026-05-09), so the Poke10 PSA 10 reference $188.69 reflects almost entirely PSA-Tokyo grading-supply scarcity rather than card-design pull. Without published PSA pop figures the gem rate cannot be modelled, and 0 sales in 30 days means the $188.69 quote is an illiquid reference point — the next live trade may reset the index materially in either direction. Grading EV is poor on a normal cost basis: at ~$25 PSA JP grading + $12 ship the per-submission cost ($37) approaches or exceeds raw value before any gem-rate haircut, so only collectors topping a Common run should grade. The English Fusion Strike 087/264 counterpart trades a few dollars raw with PSA 10 routinely under $25 — JP Eevee Heroes carries the entire premium, consistent with the 8x-smaller JP print run vs Fusion Strike. Catalysts: any future Eevee Heroes set-completion run from Japan-domestic master-set collectors, or PSA pop publication confirming a sub-100 PSA 10 census, would harden the floor; a pop expansion by PSA Tokyo would soften it.

Risks to Watch

Three risks dominate. First, illiquidity: 0 PSA 10 sales in the trailing 30 days means the $188.69 quote is reference-only and the bid-ask can be wide; a single dealer offload could reprice -25-40% with no support. Second, pop ceiling: PSA pop is not yet published for s6a 028 PSA 10, and any pop disclosure exceeding a few hundred would compress the JP-Common premium materially given the trivial raw price. Third, English reprint substitution: collectors completing Voltorb's TCG presence often default to the cheaper Fusion Strike 087/264 EN copy, capping demand for the JP slab to JP-master-set completionists only. Upside is narrower than chase cards but real — Eevee Heroes is now 5 years past launch and JP raw supply for Commons is increasingly held in hands of Japanese set-completionists, with PSA Tokyo grading throughput the only meaningful pop-pressure variable.

Voltorb Eevee Heroes s6a 028/069 PSA 10 trades $188.69 USD on Poke10's Japan live index — a Common-rarity Single Strike Lightning Basic illustrated by Tomokazu Komiya, with the PSA 10 price reflecting low-population JP Common scarcity rather than card-design demand. The payload's `raw_db_name` of ピカチュウ is Mercari listing-noise (likely a bundle-listing artefact); the true card at slot 028 is Voltorb (ビリリダマ). Released 28 May 2021 in the Japan-exclusive Eevee Heroes (s6a) expansion, the card was reprinted in English as Fusion Strike 087/264 (November 2021). 30-day PSA 10 trade volume is zero — pricing here is reference-quote only and Poke10 will refresh once the next slab clears the live index.

Card Background & Set Context

Investment Analysis

Japanese vs English & Variants

Voltorb 028/069 in JP Eevee Heroes has one direct cross-language counterpart: English Fusion Strike 087/264 (released November 2021, illustrated by Tomokazu Komiya — same art). EN Fusion Strike PSA 10 typically trades sub-$25 reflecting the much larger English print run. Within JP s6a there are no Master Ball / Poke Ball reverse holo Common patterns (those appeared in later sv-era Japanese sets), no Pokemon Center stamp, and no promo print of this Voltorb — the 028/069 Common is the only Japanese print. Korean s6a 028 exists at parity-or-below JP given thinner Korean collector demand for non-chase Commons.

Authentication & Cert Verification

Common-rarity slabs need first-pass PSA cert lookup (PSA online cert verification) — the cert + flip + slab serial must match the card image on PSA's database. Voltorb 028 is a regular Common (no holo, no reverse holo at this slot in s6a Common print pattern), so authentication red flags differ from holo SR/HR fakes: focus on (1) card stock thickness 0.30-0.32mm, (2) Japanese back-print prismatic detail at 10x loupe, (3) Tomokazu Komiya credit bottom-left in 4pt font, (4) 'ビリリダマ' name printed in standard SS-era font (no spacing or kerning irregularity), (5) set symbol s6a Eevee Heroes ribbon mark bottom-right, (6) HP value '60' aligned with SS-era Common template. Counterfeit incidence on JP Commons is low because the per-card profit is too thin to forge — but always confirm PSA cert before settling.
