Lowest ask: real ungraded market ask $499.00 USD mapped to this graded asset's level (×7.9 → $3927.13 USD). Because the same premium scales both the fair value and the ask, this is the real UNGRADED market discount — not a graded-sale discount. Comparable sales below remain modeled structure. The lowest ask is about 11% below the anchored fair value. Real market data ingested from pokemontcg.io — point-in-time snapshot as-of 2026-06-04 (captured 2026-06-04), not a live quote.

Investment Thesis
bullish72Base Zard — Charizard (PSA 10) is currently modestly undervalued, with rising price momentum over the last 30 days (+8.6%). Estimated fair value is $4436 against a lowest active listing of $3927. Fair value is pinned to the real graded sold-comp center for this exact variant (a recent-sales center, not a guide or ask price), using a live ungraded reference from pokemontcg.io. PSA 10 fair value pinned to the graded sold-comp center for this exact variant at $4500, as-of 2026-05-31 [Base Set UNLIMITED Charizard 4/102 PSA 10 — SOLD-comp center ~$4,500 (CYCLE-11 IMPROVE re-audit: completed-sales aggregators Grand Screen $3,000-6,000, pokemonpricing.com $4,000-7,000, CardGrading.app $3,000-5,000, all May 2026). DEMOTED: PokeScope/PKMhobby/PriceTracker guide $8-20k (guide/ask, runs 2-3x hot). Distinct from Shadowless (~$15-30k) and 1st-Edition ($200k-550k). Raw NM ~$400-572.] — a real recent SALE center, not a guide/ask price. Live ungraded reference $572.03 (implied grade premium ×7.9). Comparable sales below remain modeled structure around that real graded level. Real market data ingested from pokemontcg.io — point-in-time snapshot as-of 2026-06-04 (captured 2026-06-04), not a live quote. Valuation confidence is high. The comparable sales below remain modeled around that anchor — they are not real recorded sales. The lowest ask traces to a real ungraded market ask, mapped to this graded level at $3927 (TCGPlayer); because the premium scales both sides, the 11% discount is the real ungraded market discount, not a graded-sale discount. The listing rows beneath remain modeled structure.
Bullish: rising prices (+8.6% over 30d) with thin liquidity and stable graded supply.
Risk Indicators
- Thin liquidity — few active listings, wider spreads likely
Grading ROI & Population Trend
Is it worth paying to grade this card? A transparent profit model from the real ungraded cost and the audited graded value, plus a read on graded-supply momentum. The cost and odds levers are modeled assumptions you can adjust — not market-price pins.

Adjust modeled assumptions
These are modeled estimates, not market-price pins.
- Modeled gem-grade odds: 30% chance of PSA 10 (a modeled probability, not a market price). Non-gem outcomes are valued conservatively at $0.
- Modeled grading-service fee: $25.00 per card, plus $4.00 shipping/insurance (modeled service costs, not market prices).
- Modeled marketplace sell fee: 13.0% of graded proceeds (a modeled cost, not a market price).
- Raw cost and graded value trace to the existing audited references/pins — this panel authors no new market-price value.
