Why prices differ

TCGplayer market asking prices$20.10+20%
Recent sold median 76 completed sales$10.90−35%

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.

Is Manectric worth grading?

+$6

Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 14.2% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case +$424); most land at PSA 9 or below.

The odds

Manectric is a Holo / V / ex in Crystal Guardians — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 33% of the time, split across 23 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 70 packs.

Holo / V / ex33%23 cards

PSA 940%132 of 330
PSA graded so far330
Gem Mint 1045
Total graded330

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 317 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1014.2%$546.00
PSA 939.7%$80.00
PSA ≤846.1%$40.00

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 14% of 330 PSA-graded Manectric copies are a gem-mint 10 (45 of 330) — the rest grade lower.

“Sold” = median of real recent sold listings at that grade (eBay or Fanatics Collect — hover a badge to see which). “Modelled” = no verified graded sale behind the figure; it is derived from the raw price and reference guides, so treat it as a ceiling to check, not a price to quote. Confidence reflects source backing and price spread — not PSA-official values.

What NM / LP / MP actually mean — and how much they cost

For context: a graded PSA 7 slab of this card sells for about $27 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
