Why prices differ
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 Glaceon worth grading?
Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 0% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case +$6); most land at PSA 9 or below.
The odds
Glaceon is a Rare in Dark Explorers — the pack's hit slot lands on Rare 59.7% of the time, split across 19 rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 32 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 | $82.65 | $71 | +$6 | 15.4× |
| PSA 9 | $20.84 | $70 | −$55 | 3.9× |
| PSA 8 | $5.88 | $70 | −$70 | 1.1× |
⚖️ Risk-adjusted return
Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 15 PSA-graded copies:
| Likely outcome | Chance | Value |
|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | 0% | $83.00 |
| PSA 9 | 33.3% | $21.00 |
| PSA ≤8 | 66.7% | $6.00 |
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 0% of 16 PSA-graded Glaceon copies are a gem-mint 10 (0 of 16) — the rest grade lower.
Real graded population from PSA, CGC, BGS & TAG — a lower gem rate means a Glaceon 10 is harder to pull.
