Sold prices, not asking. Near Mint estimate from 71 completed sales of this exact card, each adjusted for the condition it sold in. A typical copy fetches about $6 because most that trade are played, not mint. Updated 9 September 2026. Estimate, not an appraisalhow we price →

Why prices differ

TCGplayer market asking prices$12.99+51%
Recent sold median 51 completed sales$5.65−34%

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.

Recent Raw sales

From 74 completed sales recorded between Oct 6, 2025 and Sep 5, 2026. Sold prices only — asking prices are never counted. 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.

Compare graders, and the live market

The verdict above is PSA's — the grader the population report, the ROI table and the price ladder on this page all use. Trader prices all three graders against each other and adds what the asking market is doing right now.

  • PSA, CGC and Beckett side by side — each on its own population and its own fees, with Beckett scored on the 9.5 its market actually pays for.
  • Lightly and moderately played — the same expected return for a copy that cannot gem.
  • Ask vs sold — what the live listings want, against what copies have really closed at.
  • Momentum — the 30-day median against the 90-day, per grade.
  • Where it sells higher — the Fanatics-versus-eBay premium, with the sale counts behind it.
  • Population history — the weekly PSA census, so you can see how fast 10s are arriving before you post the card.

The odds

Porygon is a Commoncard — a guaranteed slot in every pack, not a rarity gamble, so there's no pull-odds figure for it.

PSA 10 (gem mint)3.2%1 of 31
PSA 941.9%13 of 31
PSA graded so far31
Gem Mint 101
Total graded31

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 29 PSA-graded copies:

OutcomeChanceValue
PSA 103.4%$63.45
PSA 937.9%$25.00
PSA 8typical17.2%$8.62
PSA 76.9%$8.62
PSA 610.3%$8.62
PSA 56.9%$8.62
PSA 410.3%$8.62
PSA 33.4%$8.62
PSA 23.4%$8.62

Net = graded value − raw value − grading cost (tier fee + ~$20 round-trip shipping), using PSA fees as of 2026-08-26; 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.
