PSA Graded Pokemon Card Pricing Guide (2026)

If you’re buying, selling, or grading Pokemon cards in 2026, the gap between PSA 10 and PSA 9 is where most of your money gets made or lost. A static “multiplier” rule doesn’t work anymore — real spreads swing card by card.

Why grade multipliers are a trap

You’ve probably heard the shortcut: “PSA 10 is 3x raw, PSA 9 is 1.5x raw.” It’s wrong more often than it’s right. On modern cards with high 10 populations, the spread is narrow. On vintage with sub-100 gem-mint counts, PSA 10 can be 10x or more.

Reading the real spread

For any card Eyevo now surfaces three live graded comps:

• PSA 10 (Gem Mint) — the ceiling. Often what collectors quote.
• PSA 9 (Mint) — the realistic upgrade target for a well-kept raw card.
• PSA 8 (Near Mint-Mint) — budget slab, often close to raw NM pricing.

All three come from actual eBay sold listings over the last 30 days. No ask prices, no formulas — what buyers actually paid.

When grading is worth it

1. PSA 10 comp is at least 3x raw. Covers fees and the downgrade risk.
2. Population is under 1,000. Rarity drives premium. Mass-graded modern chase cards often don’t pencil out.
3. You can confidently grade a 9 or 10. Edges, centering, surface. Be honest.

Scan a slab, get the comp

Point Eyevo at a slab and the grade is read automatically — the matching comp is on screen in seconds. No app switching, no manual grade entry.
