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 25 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 23, 2026.
Based on a raw cost of $100.72 (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.
