What the sales actually show

The counts are in the hero; this is how the card trades — the range, the pace, where, and what each grade has actually fetched. Figures that name a grade cover that grade alone; the rest count every grade.

Every sale we can show you

Completed sales from our own sold ledger, PSA’s certified-sale feed and the eBay comps, in one list, newest first — Fanatics, Goldin and eBay between them. Filter by grade: a raw copy and a graded slab are different objects, and averaging them is how a raw market comes to look wild. We hold 13 sales for this card going back to 2025; the ledger names its most recent eight per grade, which is what the table below can link to.

How many exist, and at what grade

PSA's cumulative census for this card — the same population behind the ladder above and the grading verdict below.

PSA 10 · gem mint

3 of 27

PSA 9

40.7%

11 of 27

Total PSA graded

27

every grade, all time

  • PSA 27 graded
  • CGC 30 graded
  • BGS 1 graded
  • TAG 3 graded

The census is cumulative and counts resubmissions, so it skews toward nicer copies and overstates the gem rate a first submission should expect. Treat it as the ceiling.

The odds of pulling one

Galvantula is a Rare in Steam Siege— the pack’s hit slot lands on rare 59.7% of the time, split across 30 of them in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 50 packs.

Is Galvantula worth grading?

Best case is the PSA 10 outcome and the number to trust least — it assumes the gem rate the census above shows, which the census itself overstates. Expected net is the honest one.

  • PSA, CGC and Beckett side by side — each on its own population and fees, Beckett scored on the 9.5 its market 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.
