Estimated value · Pack fresh
Based on 41 sold sales

Estimated. This card has enough sales to price the top 15% but not the top 5%, so pack-fresh is projected from the gap we measure between those two tiers on cards that do — about 1.4x on vintage, 1.2x on modern. $7.42. That's about +63% over a typical Near Mint copy.

ⓘ How do we work this out?

We take every real sale of this exact card over the last 12 months (41 sales), sort them by price, and read off the top 15% and top 5%. No multipliers, no guesses — the prices cleaner copies actually fetched.

Why cleaner copies cost more: buyers can see condition in the photos and pay for it. Listings sellers describe as pack fresh or gem mint land in this top band 1.7× more often than ordinary ones — the premium follows the card, not the hype.

Copies in this band are also the ones collectors send to grading: far more likely than a typical binder copy to be submitted at all — and to come back with the strong grade that carries the PSA prices shown on this page. That prospect is part of what buyers are paying for here.

These are read straight off this card's own completed sales — sort them by price and take the top 15% and top 5%. Whether your copy qualifies is a judgment made by looking at the card.

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 90 sales for this card going back to 2026; the ledger names its most recent eight per grade, which is what the table below can link to.

A badge says what is behind the number. cert-verified means PSA sales each tied to a specific slab you can check by serial; sold means completed eBay or Fanatics listings; modelled means no verified graded sale exists and the figure is derived from the raw price and reference guides — a ceiling to check, not a price to quote. reviewed was set by hand after reading the sales record.

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.

every grade, all time

  • PSA 249 graded
  • CGC 97 graded
  • BGS 4 graded
  • TAG 5 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

Talonflame BREAK 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.
