From 82 completed sales recorded between Mar 9, 2026 and Sep 4, 2026. Sold prices only — asking prices are never counted. The median above is computed over the 76 sales of the printing this page lists; reverse holo copies are real sales of a different card and are shown separately rather than mixed in. 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.

Is Elekid worth grading?

$65

Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 47.1% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case $59); most land at PSA 9 or below.

The odds

Elekid is a Rare in Unseen Forces — the pack's hit slot lands on Rare 67% of the time, split across 44 rare cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 66 packs.

Rare67%44 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)47.1%8 of 17
PSA 923.5%4 of 17
PSA graded so far17

Total graded17

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.

⚖️ Risk-adjusted return

Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 17 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1047.1%$31.00
PSA 923.5%$26.00
PSA ≤829.4%$15.00

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. Gem rate is estimated from cumulative PSA population, which skews toward nicer, resubmitted copies — so it overstates the true grade rate. Treat it as a guide, not a guarantee.

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

Only 47% of 17 PSA-graded Elekid copies are a gem-mint 10 (8 of 17) — the rest grade lower.

“Sold” = median of real recent sold listings at that grade (eBay or Fanatics Collect — hover a badge to see which). “Modelled” = no verified graded sale behind the figure; it is derived from the raw price and reference guides, so treat it as a ceiling to check, not a price to quote.
