Prices ungraded copies actually sold for on eBay, last 90 days. These are completed sales, not asking prices, so they will not match the TCGplayer figures above.
Median of 3 completed sales over the last 90 days. Condition is whatever the seller shipped, so this covers everything from Near Mint to played — it is not a Near Mint price.
Data through Aug 29, 2026.
Based on a raw cost of $4.98 (Near Mint) and the median of recent eBay sales at each grade. Each figure is what you'd net after grading and selling — the grading fee, a $15.00 shipping estimate, and a 12.9% sale fee are already subtracted. It doesn't predict the grade your card will get; it shows what each outcome is worth so you can decide.
