Sold prices, not asking. Near Mint estimate from 33 completed sales of this exact card, each adjusted for the condition it sold in. A typical copy fetches about $10 because most that trade are played, not mint. Updated 11 September 2026. Estimate, not an appraisalhow we price →

Why prices differ

TCGplayer market asking prices$17.64+34%
Recent sold median 24 completed sales$10.13−23%

TCGplayer's figure is what sellers are asking on their marketplace, not what copies sold for — an asking price sits above a completed sale because it is the start of a negotiation, not the end of one. Our price comes from those same completed sales, adjusted to Near Mint — the median below mixes every condition together, and most copies that change hands are played rather than mint. How we weigh them →

Estimated value · Pack fresh
Based on 23 sold sales

Estimated. This card has enough sales to price the top 15% but not the top 5%, so pack-fresh is projected from the gap we measure between those two tiers on cards that do — about 1.4x on vintage, 1.2x on modern. $22.88. That's about +74% over a typical Near Mint copy.

How do we work this out?

We take every real sale of this exact card over the last 12 months (23 sales), sort them by price, and read off the top 15% and top 5%. No multipliers, no guesses — the prices cleaner copies actually fetched.

Why cleaner copies cost more: buyers can see condition in the photos and pay for it. Listings sellers describe as pack fresh or gem mint land in this top band 1.7× more often than ordinary ones — the premium follows the card, not the hype.

Copies in this band are also the ones collectors send to grading: far more likely than a typical binder copy to be submitted at all — and to come back with the strong grade that carries the PSA prices shown on this page. That prospect is part of what buyers are paying for here.

These are read straight off this card's own completed sales — sort them by price and take the top 15% and top 5%. Whether your copy qualifies is a judgment made by looking at the card.

Is Seaking worth grading?

A gamble, not a profit

Most copies come back PSA 9worth $23 against the $85 you put in, a $62 loss. The money is in the 1 in 1 that reach PSA 9 or 10 and sell for $23$433. Averaged over every outcome that is +$74 a card.

Compare graders, and the live market

The verdict above is PSA's — the grader the population report, the ROI table and the price ladder on this page all use. Trader prices all three graders against each other and adds what the asking market is doing right now.

  • PSA, CGC and Beckett side by side — each on its own population and its own fees, with Beckett scored on the 9.5 its market actually pays for.
  • Lightly and moderately played — the same expected return for a copy that cannot gem.
  • Ask vs sold — what the live listings want, against what copies have really closed at.
  • Momentum — the 30-day median against the 90-day, per grade.
  • Where it sells higher — the Fanatics-versus-eBay premium, with the sale counts behind it.
  • Population history — the weekly PSA census, so you can see how fast 10s are arriving before you post the card.

The odds

Seaking is a Uncommoncard — a guaranteed slot in every pack, not a rarity gamble, so there's no pull-odds figure for it.

PSA 10 (gem mint)32.7%16 of 49
PSA 942.9%21 of 49
PSA graded so far49
Gem Mint 1016
Total graded49

Estimates only. Pack odds come from CardTrack's pack model (the same one behind the pack simulator) — not an official rate. Grading odds are the real cumulative PSA population, which skews toward nicer, resubmitted copies, so it overstates the true first-submission gem rate. Full grade-by-grade breakdown below.

⚖️ Risk-adjusted return

Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 48 PSA-graded copies:

OutcomeChanceValue
PSA 1033.3%$432.83
PSA 9typical41.7%$23.00
PSA 818.8%$21.32
PSA 74.2%$18.50
PSA 62.1%$13.18

Net = graded value − raw value − grading cost (tier fee + ~$20 round-trip shipping), using PSA fees as of 2026-08-26; the paused PSA Value tier is excluded so this isn't overstated. Gem rate is estimated from cumulative PSA population, which skews toward nicer, resubmitted copies — so it overstates the true grade rate. Treat it as a guide, not a guarantee.
