Cards sitting just above the PSA Standard grading line

A common first screen is to grade only cards whose raw price is at least 2.5× the fee; with PSA Standard at $59.99 that line is about $150. These 7 cards are between $150 and $200 raw, so a small drop takes them under it. The last column is the PSA 10 sale price needed to beat selling raw, assuming a 30% chance of a 10, a 13.25% selling fee and $6 shipping per card.

Card Set No. Raw market PSA 10 needed (Standard)
Glaceon V Evolving Skies 175 $156.66 ~$410
Perrin Twilight Masquerade 220 $162.01 ~$416
Roaring Moon ex Prismatic Evolutions 162 $166.70 ~$420

Across all 10 sets, 34 cards clear the PSA Standard line ($150+) and 84 clear the CGC Economy line ($50+) as of October 1, 2026.

Method

  • Source: TCGplayer market price (an estimate from recent completed sales), collected daily from pokemontcg.io and PokéWallet into our own database. For each card we use whichever source updated most recently. Market prices lag real sales and a single sale can land well above or below them.
  • Card value is the most expensive printing of each card number. A card is in the “$20+” list if it was worth at least $20 on the start date; the change compares the same card on both dates.
  • Sets covered: Prismatic Evolutions, Evolving Skies, 151, Destined Rivals, Paldean Fates, Surging Sparks, Twilight Masquerade, Journey Together, Obsidian Flames, Crown Zenith (Crown Zenith includes the Galarian Gallery).
  • Grading fees: PSA's service update of September 9, 2026 (Standard $59.99, Priority $79.99) and CGC Economy $20.
  • Card names are used for identification only. GradeWorthy isn't affiliated with or endorsed by The Pokémon Company, Nintendo, PSA, CGC, TAG, Beckett, eBay or TCGplayer. This is market data, not financial advice.
