Eldegoss

寶可夢卡牌家庭組合 · #004 — what it sells for at each grade from real recorded sales, what each grading route costs, and what you keep after fees on each side of the world. Full price page →

Cost basis changes what you keep, not what the card is worth: the market price above is what the card sells for, and your cost is only ever subtracted from it. The condition line is your read of your own copy — we have not seen it, and telling us what to assume is the only way a probability on this page has a real basis.

What this card actually sells for, grade by grade

One row per grade, priced on that grade's OWN recorded sales and nothing else. A grade with fewer than 3 confirmed sales gets no price — it abstains and says why. We never fill an empty grade in from the grades either side of it, because a modelled number sitting in a price column reads as an observation.

Each price is the recency-weighted median of that grade’s own confirmed sales, after an outlier fence drops the freak results at either end — so a recent sale counts for more than an old one, and one strange price cannot move the number. The count beside it is how many confirmed sales sit behind it, and the range is what they actually printed. It is the same figure the grading engine below prices from, so every line of arithmetic on this page starts here.

Every grading route, costed

Fees, turnaround and declared-value caps are the real published schedules. "Keep if 10 / 9 / 8" is what you would be left with in that scenario: the recorded price at that grade, less the selling fee, less what the card cost you and what grading cost. Those are outcomes, not forecasts. The expected value column blends them by probability and is published only where that probability has a real basis.

We hold NO population report for this card, so we cannot measure how often it comes back a 10. Any probability on this page is therefore an assumption, and is labelled as one.

Grade it — then sell it where?

The half of the question a one-market calculator cannot answer. Hoshino holds Japanese and Western recorded sales for the same card at the same grade. Each side is priced on its own sales, netted at that side's real selling fee. Fee-net only: cross-border shipping, import duty and customs are not modelled, and a side without enough confirmed sales abstains rather than being estimated from the other.

We hold recorded sales of this card on only one side of the world, so there is no Japan-versus-West comparison to publish. Both sides have to clear the same evidence bar independently before we will print the gap.

Questions people actually ask about grading Eldegoss

Is Eldegoss (寶可夢卡牌家庭組合) worth grading?

We will not answer that with a number for this card. No recorded sale of a PSA 10 — nothing to price. Where a grade has too few confirmed sales of its own, we publish no price for it and we do not interpolate one from the grades either side. Hoshino reports recorded transactions. Nothing here is investment advice, a valuation, or a prediction of what grade any individual card will receive.

What does a PSA 10 Eldegoss sell for?

We do not publish one. No recorded sale of a PSA 10 — nothing to price.

PSA or CGC for Eldegoss?

On fees, the cheapest modelled routes are CGC Economy at $17.00 and PSA Japan Value at $31.00. On resale we cannot compare them for this card: No recorded sale of a CGC 10 — nothing to price. We will not estimate what a CGC slab of it would fetch from PSA sales — a different slab is a different market.

Should I sell Eldegoss in Japan or the West?

We cannot answer that for this card. Both sides have to clear the same evidence bar independently, and this card does not have enough confirmed sales on both sides of the world at the same grade.

How much does it cost to grade a card?

The fees we model, dated and taken from each grader's published schedule: CGC Economy $17.00 (90 business days, declared value up to $200); BGS Base $17.95 (75 business days, declared value up to $500); SGC (vintage) $30.00 (20 business days, declared value up to $1,500); PSA Japan Value $31.00 (45 business days, declared value up to $500); BGS Standard $34.95 (45 business days, declared value up to $1,500); CGC Standard $35.00 (25 business days, declared value up to $1,000); PSA Japan Regular $70.00 (10 business days, declared value up to $1,499); BGS Express $79.95 (10 business days, declared value up to $2,500); PSA Regular $79.99 (35 business days, declared value up to $1,500); PSA Express $149.00 (10 business days, declared value up to $2,500); PSA Super Express $349.00 (8 business days, declared value up to $5,000); PSA Walk-Through $599.00 (6 business days, declared value up to $10,000). Shipping is modelled at $5.00 per card. A service whose current fee we do not hold abstains from this page rather than being priced with a guess.

Can you tell me what grade my copy will get?

No, and nobody can. We have not seen your card. The chance of a 10 used on this page is 25%, drawn from a conservative prior — we hold NO population data for this card, so this is an assumption, not a measurement. Where we hold no population data and you have told us nothing about your copy, we publish the per-outcome numbers and withhold the blended expectation instead of inventing a probability. Hoshino reports recorded transactions. Nothing here is investment advice, a valuation, or a prediction of what grade any individual card will receive.

What the words on this page mean

Confirmed sale
A completed transaction we recorded on a venue we track. Every GRADE price on this page is built from these and nothing else. The one figure that can come from somewhere else is the ungraded price, where a card has never sold raw on a venue we track but a marketplace publishes a guide figure for it — that row says so, and so does the cost-basis line that uses it.
Inferred sale
A sale reconstructed from a listing disappearing. Counted separately, never treated as confirmed, and never used to reach the minimum of 3.
Price-guide point
A marketplace's own published market or trend figure. Useful, but it is not a sale and is never printed as one.
Asking price
A live listing. What someone wants, not what anyone paid. It is not used on this page at all.
Abstained
We hold data, but not enough of it at that exact grade to state a price. We say so instead of interpolating from the grades either side.
Expected value
The average across grade outcomes weighted by how likely each is. It is not what you will get. Individual outcomes are the "keep if 10 / 9 / 8" columns.
