What the sales actually show

The counts are in the hero; this is how the card trades — the range, the pace, where, and what each grade has actually fetched. Figures that name a grade cover that grade alone; the rest count every grade.

Completed sales from our own sold ledger, PSA’s certified-sale feed and the eBay comps, in one list, newest first — Fanatics, Goldin and eBay between them. Filter by grade: a raw copy and a graded slab are different objects, and averaging them is how a raw market comes to look wild. We hold 25 sales for this card going back to 2026; the ledger names its most recent eight per grade, which is what the table below can link to.

A badge says what is behind the number. cert-verified means PSA sales each tied to a specific slab you can check by serial; sold means completed eBay or Fanatics listings; modelled means no verified graded sale exists and the figure is derived from the raw price and reference guides — a ceiling to check, not a price to quote. reviewed was set by hand after reading the sales record.

How many exist, and at what grade

PSA's cumulative census for this card — the same population behind the ladder above and the grading verdict below.

PSA 10 · gem mint

17.1%

25 of 146

PSA 9

Total PSA graded

every grade, all time

  • PSA 146 graded
  • CGC 167 graded
  • TAG 1 graded

The census is cumulative and counts resubmissions, so it skews toward nicer copies and overstates the gem rate a first submission should expect. Treat it as the ceiling.

The odds of pulling one

Rhydon is a uncommon card — a guaranteed slot in every pack rather than a rarity gamble, so there is no pull-odds figure for it.

Is Rhydon worth grading?

Every grade weighted by how often this card actually earns it — not the PSA 10 outcome alone.

Best case is the PSA 10 outcome and the number to trust least — it assumes the gem rate the census above shows, which the census itself overstates. Expected net is the honest one.
