Sold prices, not asking. Near Mint estimate from 114 completed sales of this exact card, each adjusted for the condition it sold in. Listings ask what a seller hopes for; this is what copies actually changed hands for, which is why it can sit below what you see for sale. Updated 5 September 2026.

Why prices differ

TCGplayer market asking prices$317.33+369%
Recent sold median 39 completed sales$98.86+46%

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.

The range is wide because these sales span different printings and conditions — 1st Edition, Shadowless and Unlimited copies all carry this card's name, and they trade at very different levels. Each sale above is labelled with what its listing claimed, so you can see which ones describe the same object. Treat the median as the typical copy, not the range.

Is Gyarados worth grading?

Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 2% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case +$3,491); most land at PSA 9 or below.

The odds

Gyarados is a Holo / V / ex in HeartGold & SoulSilver — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 33% of the time, split across 14 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 42 packs.

Holo / V / ex33%14 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)1.9%12 of 647
PSA 918.7%121 of 647
PSA graded so far647
Gem Mint 1012
Total graded647

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

⚖️ Risk-adjusted return

Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 614 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 102%$3,967.00
PSA 919.7%$1,826.00
PSA ≤878.3%$349.00

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 2% of 647 PSA-graded Gyarados copies are a gem-mint 10 (12 of 647) — 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 6 slab of this card sells for about $200 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
