Why prices differ

TCGplayer market asking prices$41.89+12%
Recent sold median 103 completed sales$24.99−33%

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
$56.48
Based on 32 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. $56.48. That's about +51% 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 (32 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 Arceus worth grading?

The odds

Arceus is a Rare in Arceus — the pack's hit slot lands on Rare 67% of the time, split across 32 rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 48 packs.

Rare67%32 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)6%33 of 551
PSA 929.9%165 of 551
PSA graded so far551
Gem Mint 1033
Total graded551

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 533 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 106.2%$3,000.00
PSA 930.4%$192.00
PSA ≤863.4%$86.00

Net = graded value − raw value − grading cost (tier fee + ~$20 round-trip shipping), using PSA fees as of 2026-06-28; 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.

Population across gradersPSA, CGC, BGS & TAG — every grade, with gem rates

Only 6% of 551 PSA-graded Arceus copies are a gem-mint 10 (33 of 551) — the rest grade lower.
