What's your copy worth?
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. $52.95. That's about +35% 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 Charizard V worth grading?
Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 54.3% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case +$89); most land at PSA 9 or below.
The odds
Charizard V is a Ultra Rare in Brilliant Stars — the pack's hit slot lands on Ultra Rare 10% of the time, split across 21 ultra rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 211 packs.
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.
Grade-by-grade ROI & risk-adjusted outcomesNet vs raw per target grade, plus the probability-weighted distribution
| Target grade | Est. value | Grading fee | Net vs raw | Multiple |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | $200.00 | $72 | +$89 | 5.1× |
| PSA 9.5 | $79.99 | $71 | −$30 | 2.0× |
| PSA 9 | $50.00 | $70 | −$60 | 1.3× |
| PSA 8 | $33.00 | $70 | −$77 | 0.8× |
⚖️ Risk-adjusted return
Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 7,748 PSA-graded copies:
| Likely outcome | Chance | Value |
|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | 54.3% | $200.00 |
| PSA 9 | 35.2% | $50.00 |
| PSA ≤8 | 10.5% | $29.00 |
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 54% of 7,925 PSA-graded Charizard V copies are a gem-mint 10 (4,302 of 7,925) — the rest grade lower.
Real graded population from PSA, CGC, BGS & TAG — a lower gem rate means a Charizard V 10 is harder to pull.
