Sold prices, not asking. Priced from 43 completed sales of this exact card. 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 4 September 2026. Estimate, not an appraisalhow we price →

Why prices differ

TCGplayer market asking prices$23.00+48%
Recent sold median 31 completed sales$11.98−23%

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.

From 58 completed sales recorded between Apr 11, 2026 and Aug 18, 2026. Sold prices only — asking prices are never counted. The median above is computed over the 43 sales of the printing this page lists; reverse holo copies are real sales of a different card and are shown separately rather than mixed in. 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 Politoed worth grading?

+$29

Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 7.5% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case +$315); most land at PSA 9 or below.

The odds

Politoed is a Holo / V / ex in HS—Unleashed — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 33% of the time, split across 11 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 33 packs.

Holo / V / ex33%11 cards

PSA 935.5%44 of 124
PSA graded so far124
Gem Mint 109
Total graded124

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 120 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 107.5%$405.00
PSA 936.7%$150.00
PSA ≤855.8%$59.00

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 7% of 124 PSA-graded Politoed copies are a gem-mint 10 (9 of 124) — the rest grade lower.

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

For context: a graded PSA 7 slab of this card sells for about $20 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
