From 64 completed sales recorded between Jan 13, 2026 and Aug 12, 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?
Raw $12.07 → graded PSA 9 ≈ $500.00, after ~$74.99 grading fee → 41.4× the raw value.
The odds
Salamence is a Holo / V / ex in Secret Wonders — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 33% of the time, split across 22 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 67 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 9 | $500.00 | $75 | +$413 | 41.4× |
| PSA 8 | $63.20 | $71 | −$19 | 5.2× |
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 6% of 311 PSA-graded Salamence copies are a gem-mint 10 (18 of 311) — the rest grade lower.
Real graded population from PSA, CGC & BGS — a lower gem rate means a Salamence 10 is harder to pull.

For context: a graded PSA 6 slab of this card sells for about $33 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
