Why prices differ

TCGplayer market asking prices$20.82+15%
Recent sold median 54 completed sales$11.73−36%

TCGplayer's figure is what sellers are asking on their marketplace, not what copies sold for — an asking price sits above a completed sale because it is the start of a negotiation, not the end of one. Our price comes from those same completed sales, adjusted to Near Mint — the median below mixes every condition together, and most copies that change hands are played rather than mint.

Estimated value · Pack fresh
$54.54
Based on 50 sold sales

The top 5% of this card's sales — pack-fresh examples — sold for $54.54 or more. That's about +200% 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 (50 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 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.

Is Groudon worth grading?

+$407

Raw $18.18 → graded PSA 9$500.00, after ~$74.99 grading fee → 27.5× the raw value.

The odds

Groudon is a Commoncard — a guaranteed slot in every pack, not a rarity gamble, so there's no pull-odds figure for it.

PSA 10 (gem mint)2%4 of 196
PSA 918.4%36 of 196
PSA graded so far196
Gem Mint 104
Total graded196

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 gradeEst. valueGrading feeNet vs rawMultiple
PSA 9$500.00$75+$40727.5×
PSA 8$152.00$72+$628.4×

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 & TAG — every grade, with gem rates

Only 2% of 196 PSA-graded Groudon copies are a gem-mint 10 (4 of 196) — the rest grade lower.

What premium copies fetch

What NM / LP / MP actually mean — and how much they cost

For context: a graded PSA 7 slab of this card sells for about $30 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
