Captain Pikachu PSA 10: Complete Guide to the CBB1C 07 09/09 Listing

Updated November 7, 2026

This Captain Pikachu PSA 10 guide explains one graded Pokémon card: Captain Pikachu AR, listed as CBB1C 07 09/09 (CBB1C07), from the set Pokemon Card Gem Pack Flash Card, graded PSA 10 (Gem Mint). It shows you how to read the listing, what the grade and rarity mean, and how our Captain Pikachu PSA 10 product page ships from Tokyo.

What is the Captain Pikachu PSA 10 card?

It is one graded card: Captain Pikachu, rarity AR, card number 07 09/09, set Pokemon Card Gem Pack Flash Card, graded PSA 10 (Gem Mint). Every identifying detail in this guide comes from our Captain Pikachu PSA 10 product page.

This guide is written for collectors outside Japan who find a listing like this and want to understand it before paying. A graded single is not like a booster box or a pack. You are not buying a chance at something; you are buying one specific card that has already been graded and sealed in a PSA case. That changes what you need to check. With sealed products you read the set name and the release information. With a graded card you read the name, the code, the number, the rarity and the grade, and you look at the case.

The sections below follow the questions a collector usually asks in order: how to read the listing name, what the grade means, what AR means, how a graded single differs from a pack, what to look at on the case, how ordering and shipping work, what happens if the card sells through another channel, how to pay, and how this card sits next to the 30th Celebration Pikachu cards. Each section starts with the short answer and then gives detail.

How do you read the Captain Pikachu AR CBB1C 07 09/09 listing name?

Read it from left to right: the grade, the character, the rarity, the code and card number in brackets, the CN value, and the set name in parentheses. Each part answers a different question about the card, and matching all of them is how you confirm you are looking at the right Captain Pikachu.

The numbering deserves one more sentence. The listing writes the number as 07 09/09. That is everything the product page says about the numbering, and it is what you match against any reference list you use. If you keep a collection spreadsheet, record the code, the number, the rarity and the grade as separate columns.

A graded listing also names the grade before anything else. If a listing leads with PSA10, you know before you read further that the card is already graded, and the rest of the name tells you which card it is.

What does PSA 10 mean for the Captain Pikachu card?

PSA 10 means Gem Mint, which our product page calls the highest grade certifiable by Professional Sports Authenticator. The page adds that the grade is awarded only to cards in flawless, gem mint condition. For Captain Pikachu, that means the card inside the case has been graded at the top of PSA’s scale.

Three things follow for a collector.

• The grade is already decided. You are buying a card that has been graded, so you are not guessing at condition the way you would with an ungraded card described only in words.
• The grade describes the card, not the case. PSA 10 is about the card. Our page separately notes that the PSA case may have minor scratches or marks on its surface.
• It is one fixed item. A graded card is one specific slab. The listing is for the card shown, graded PSA 10, not for a range of conditions or a choice of copies.

It helps to keep the two ideas apart: the label and the plastic. The plastic is the protective case. When our product page says the case may show minor scratches or marks, it is talking about the plastic. It does not change the grade on the label.

If you are comparing graded Pikachu cards from different sets, the grade is the common thread. Our guide to Pikachu Van Gogh PSA 10 covers another graded Pikachu card in the same way, and reading both shows how the listing format works across different cards.

What does the AR rarity mean on Captain Pikachu?

AR stands for Art Rare, a rarity abbreviation used in the Pokemon Card Game. The official page for the High Class Pack MEGA Dream ex lists its rarities as MA (Mega Attack Rare, new), AR (Art Rare), SAR (Special Art Rare) and mirror-style cards, which shows where AR sits among the abbreviations collectors see most.

That page is for a different product, so it tells you what the abbreviation means and nothing about Captain Pikachu itself. For this card the listing is the source: it says AR, and it says CBB1C 07 09/09.

Rarity abbreviations are a shorthand for how a card is presented in its set. AR is read as Art Rare; SAR is read as Special Art Rare; MA is read as Mega Attack Rare. When you see a two- or three-letter code in a listing name, read it as the rarity, then read the code and number after it.

If the abbreviations on Pokemon cards are new to you, our explainer What Does ex Mean on Pokémon Cards? ex, EX, ex★ and MA Explained walks through the other labels you will run into.

How is a graded single different from a pack or a box?

A graded single is one finished item, while a pack or a box is a sealed product you open. With a graded card the card, its grade and its case are all known before you order, so you are choosing a specific object rather than a set of possibilities.

For comparison, the official 30th Celebration pages describe packs in which cards are randomly inserted: the official 30th CELEBRATION page says the 6 holo kartu per pack are randomly inserted, and the Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration page says physical booster pack contents vary. A graded single removes that uncertainty.

This is why the checklist for a graded card is short and specific, and why the next section is about the case and the label rather than about odds or contents.

What should you check on the Captain Pikachu PSA 10 case?

Check the case surface in the listing image and keep the product page’s own note in mind: the PSA case may have minor scratches or marks. The grade applies to the card, so a mark on the plastic does not change the PSA 10 on the label.

Use this checklist on the product page before you order.

1. Name and number. The listing should read Captain Pikachu AR, CBB1C, 07 09/09, set Pokemon Card Gem Pack Flash Card.
2. Grade. It should read PSA 10 (Gem Mint).
3. Case. Look at the listing image for the surface of the case, and keep in mind the page’s note about minor scratches or marks.
4. Delivery plan. Read the shipping section below so the timeline matches what you expect, including the possibility of a longer dispatch for a PSA item.
5. Payment method. Choose Wise, PayPal or a card through PayPal, knowing that all payments are in Japanese yen.
6. Address. Use a physical street address, because FedEx cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes.

The product page gives no further detail about the card, so these six points are the full list. Anything beyond them would be a guess, and a guide should not guess about a single slab.

How does ordering and shipping work for a graded card from Tokyo?

Open the Captain Pikachu PSA 10 product page, add the card to your order, and pay at checkout. There is no minimum order amount or quantity, and shipping cost is calculated automatically at checkout from your delivery address, according to our shipping policy.

Shipping runs through FedEx with a tracking number. You pick one of two services at checkout.

The transit times are estimates, not promised dates, and they start after dispatch. Handling is separate: most orders are processed and shipped within 5 business days after PayPal or Wise payment has cleared, and business days exclude weekends and Japanese national holidays. That handling window is also an estimate.

The policy lists what the displayed delivery dates do not include: our handling time, pre-order release timing, supplier allocation delays, quality inspection holds, weekends, Japanese national holidays, customs processing, carrier congestion, weather and destination-country delivery conditions. Read any date you see on the site, at checkout or in a carrier tool as an estimate on top of those factors.

After the order is handed to FedEx, customs inspections, import procedures and carrier events can delay delivery, and those delays are outside our control. The policy says such transit delays do not by themselves create a right to cancel or refund after dispatch. The practical advice is to choose the service that matches how much transit time you want to plan for, and to expect that the total timeline is handling time plus transit time.

You can follow the order from your customer account. The order status is updated once the products for your order have been secured and the shipment is ready, and once the order is dispatched you can see the tracking number and the carrier’s latest delivery estimate in your account or in the shipping confirmation email.

What if you enter the wrong address or need to change it?

While an order is paid and its shipment has not yet been scheduled, you can update the shipping address yourself from My Account, then Orders, then the order. The destination country cannot be changed, and the carrier, shipping method and FedEx service level stay as selected at checkout.

The shipping policy sets out the rules in some detail, and they are worth knowing before you place an order for a single high-value card.

• If the new address costs more to ship to, you are asked to pay the difference before dispatch, and the order is held until the difference is settled.
• If the new address costs less, the shipping charge is not recalculated and no refund is made.
• Billing details (name, company, address and phone number) can be updated on the same screen. The billing country cannot be changed, and the email address on the order cannot be changed there.
• A change takes effect only once it is shown on the order in My Account.
• After the shipment is scheduled and before dispatch, the self-service change is closed. If you notice an error, contact us immediately through the Contact Form; a minor correction is possible only if the shipment has not been handed to FedEx, the processing stage still allows it, and all shipping conditions remain unchanged. Otherwise the request is declined.

The customer is responsible for giving a complete and accurate shipping address, so check it before you pay. For a graded card the simplest habit is to confirm the street address, the postal code and a working phone number at checkout and then leave the order alone.

Can a Captain Pikachu PSA 10 sell before your order is locked?

Yes. Our shipping policy says PSA graded cards may also be offered through our other sales channels, and orders from different channels can arrive almost at the same time, so a PSA item shown online may already be sold before our team locks the allocation for your online order.

The policy then states what happens next: once your payment has cleared, we will secure the PSA graded card matching your order, even if additional sourcing is required. Dispatch may take longer in that situation, and we will provide status updates whenever the schedule changes. If dispatch is delayed before handoff to FedEx, we will contact you by email as soon as practical with a revised estimate, and for significant delays we may offer the option to wait or to cancel with a full refund.

The product page says the same in shorter form: stock levels can change, so in some cases your order may take a little longer to ship. For a graded single like Captain Pikachu, plan for a possible longer dispatch rather than the minimum handling time, and check the delivery schedule shown or communicated for your order.

Which payment method suits a Captain Pikachu PSA 10 order?

Wise bank transfer is the only method without a processing fee; PayPal and card payments carry a 5% payment processing fee. All payments are made in Japanese yen, and any difference on your statement from exchange rates or conversion fees is set by your payment provider, as our payment methods page explains.

If you pay by SWIFT, the payment page states a receiving fee of JPY 611 that is deducted before the funds reach us, so you should add JPY 611 to your order total. It also asks you to select the OUR charge option so correspondent bank fees are covered on your side. If the amount we receive is short, order processing is paused until the shortfall has been paid and confirmed.

For PayPal Pay Later, the page lists the options seen at checkout, each interest-free: PayPal Pay in 4 in the United States (4 payments, one every 2 weeks), PayPal Pay in 3 in the United Kingdom (3 monthly payments), PayPal Paiement en 4X in France (4 monthly payments), PayPal Paga in 3 rate in Italy (3 monthly payments), PayPal Paga en 3 plazos in Spain (3 monthly payments), PayPal Pay in 4 in Australia (4 fortnightly payments) and PayPal Pay in 4 in Canada (4 payments, one every 2 weeks). In every case the first payment is made at checkout. Which option appears, or whether any appears, is decided by PayPal, and the terms PayPal displays are the ones that apply.

For one graded card, the clear choice is Wise if you want to avoid the 5% fee and can transfer promptly, and PayPal or a card if you want to pay at checkout in one step. Remember that the PSA item is secured once payment has cleared, so paying promptly keeps your order moving.

How does Captain Pikachu compare with the 30th Celebration Pikachu cards?

Captain Pikachu is a graded single from Pokemon Card Gem Pack Flash Card, while the 30th Celebration Pikachu cards come from a separate expansion sold as packs and sets. The comparison shows how many other Pikachu cards collectors can choose from.

The official 30th CELEBRATION product page (Pokémon Card Game MEGA Expansion Pack 30th CELEBRATION) lists a September 16, 2026 release, 6 holo kartu per pack, and 30 illustrated Pikachu kira cards, each drawn by a different illustrator. The Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration page says every pack includes a Pikachu rare card, with 30 different Pikachu versions in different art styles.

The two kinds of product answer different needs. The 30th Celebration items are packs and sets you open, and the official preview note says the pack preview shows Pikachu cards for website purposes only and does not reflect physical pack contents. The Captain Pikachu listing is a single card that is already graded. If you want a Pikachu from the anniversary release, the product images below show the expansion pack and the booster box carton.

Our Misty Trainer Card 30th guide covers another card from that release if you want to keep reading about it.

Is a Captain Pikachu PSA 10 the right card for you?

It suits you if you want one specific graded Pikachu card and accept that the PSA case may carry minor surface marks; it does not suit you if you need a mark-free case or a promised dispatch date. The decision comes down to what the listing states and what our policies state.

If you are following Japanese Pokémon card pricing news more broadly, our note on the Pokémon card price revision explains which Japanese products the notice affects.

The short version: confirm the name, the code and the number on the listing, accept the case note, pick your payment and shipping, and order once. Because a PSA item can sell through other channels first, do not delay once you have decided. The product page is where the current listing for the card sits.
