From 6 completed sales recorded between Apr 13, 2026 and Aug 2, 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.

Should you grade it?

$20

Raw $8.94 → graded PSA 8$59.69, after ~$70.59 grading fee → 6.7× the raw value.

The odds

Palafin 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)10%2 of 20
PSA 930%6 of 20
PSA graded so far20
Gem Mint 102
Total graded20

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.

Target gradeEst. valueGrading feeNet vs rawMultiple
PSA 8$59.69$71$206.7×

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. Real outcome depends on the grade achieved; PSA 10 is best-case.

Population across gradersPSA, CGC & BGS — every grade, with gem rates

Only 10% of 20 PSA-graded Palafin copies are a gem-mint 10 (2 of 20) — the rest grade lower.

Real graded population from PSA, CGC & BGS — a lower gem rate means a Palafin 10 is harder to pull.
