How to Find the Value of Your CGC Pokemon Card (2026)

CGC has three different ”10s” — Perfect, Pristine, and Gem Mint — and they don’t trade for the same money. Pretending they’re one number is the fastest way to misprice a Pokemon card. Here’s how to read your CGC card’s real 2026 value.

CGC’s three 10s, separately priced

Eyevo tracks each tier of the CGC scale individually:

• CGC Perfect 10 — flawless under 10x magnification. Vanishingly rare, prices reflect it.
• CGC Pristine 10 — Gem Mint with all sub-grades at 10. A major step up from regular 10.
• CGC Gem Mint 10 — the standard top tier. Where most modern CGC Pokemon comps live.
• CGC 9.5 Mint+ — the half-grade most other companies don’t issue.
• CGC 9 Mint and below — the rest of the scale, each tracked from real sold listings.

Comps come from actual eBay sold listings over the last 30 days. No ask prices.

When CGC pencils out

1. You think you have a Perfect or Pristine. The premium over a regular 10 is enormous. If your card is genuinely flawless, CGC is the only company that recognizes it.
2. Modern foil with edge wear. CGC’s grading on modern foils is often more forgiving than PSA’s, and the comp pool is real.
3. You want the half-grade option. CGC 9.5 fills a gap PSA’s whole-grade-only system doesn’t.

Don’t grade with CGC just because the fee is lower than PSA — for many cards the resale spread eats the savings. Eyevo’s matrix shows you, side by side.
