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.

Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 22.8% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case +$85); most land at PSA 9 or below.
The odds
Misty's Magikarp is a Commoncard — a guaranteed slot in every pack, not a rarity gamble, so there's no pull-odds figure for it.
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 | $162.75 | $72 | +$85 | 25.2× |
| PSA 9 | $31.00 | $70 | −$46 | 4.8× |
| PSA 8 | $15.00 | $70 | −$62 | 2.3× |
⚖️ Risk-adjusted return
Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 206 PSA-graded copies:
| Likely outcome | Chance | Value |
|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | 22.8% | $163.00 |
| PSA 9 | 39.3% | $31.00 |
| PSA ≤8 | 37.9% | $12.00 |
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 22% of 218 PSA-graded Misty's Magikarp copies are a gem-mint 10 (47 of 218) — the rest grade lower.
Real graded population from PSA, CGC, BGS & TAG — a lower gem rate means a Misty's Magikarp 10 is harder to pull.
