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 Swablu worth grading?
Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 1.7% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case +$1,628); most land at PSA 9 or below.
The odds
Swablu is a Rare in Platinum — the pack's hit slot lands on Rare 67% of the time, split across 26 rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 39 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 | $1,904.04 | $188 | +$1,628 | 21.5× |
| PSA 9 | $1,299.00 | $113 | +$1,098 | 14.7× |
| PSA 8 | $239.00 | $72 | +$78 | 2.7× |
⚖️ Risk-adjusted return
Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 300 PSA-graded copies:
| Likely outcome | Chance | Value |
|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | 1.7% | $1,904.00 |
| PSA 9 | 21.3% | $1,299.00 |
| PSA ≤8 | 77% | $144.00 |
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 312 PSA-graded Swablu copies are a gem-mint 10 (5 of 312) — the rest grade lower.
Real graded population from PSA, CGC, BGS & TAG — a lower gem rate means a Swablu 10 is harder to pull.
