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 19 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.

PSA 10 · gem mint

38.7%

170 of 439

PSA 9

34.9%

153 of 439

Total PSA graded

439

every grade, all time

  • PSA 439 graded
  • CGC 242 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

Primarina-GX is a Holo / V / ex in Sun & Moon— the pack’s hit slot lands on holo / v / ex 27.9% of the time, split across 27 of them in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 97 packs.
