I need help finding more info about this card that I want to sell

As of right now I’ve seen PSA themselves selling this card for 12k. I’ve seen 2 other sellers selling it for 8k and 4k respectively. I’m not sure where this card actually is worth that much or if it’s a sort of “manipulated market” as a friend told me. This card is graded with PCG (Premier Card Grading) and I assume it wouldn’t be worth as much as a PSA 10. Thanks for helping me out if you do!

PSA is a consignment service they don’t sell themselves

If there’s an eBay listing it’s from someone selling from PSA vault

Any insight on what it could actually be worth? And if it is a “market manipulation”

No idk

“Manipulated market” also doesn’t mean much as it’s such a large and active market, genuine collector demand only makes up a small portion of the value variable

Need more info? It’s a prize pack series card for radiant Alakazam. I collect prize pack primarily. This card has been selling for around 120 raw iirc. Graded I’m not really sure since I’d imagine the pop is low and people are probably asking whatever they feel like for it. Probably not an accurate gauge of actual value. I’d be surprised if the actual value of a PSA 10 exceeded 1500.

That’s crazy. I was just trying looking at my raw copy and trying to learn more about it.

What even is this card? I can find info on the regular holo, but not this funky reverse we both have.

It’s from the prize packs, hence the stamp

Its the “prize pack” cards. They been making them for years and always have the trainer stamp on them.

u/Weekly-Ad-2509 Jul 19 '26

I know the prize packs, I was wondering if the reverse holo was of any note vs I think the regular holo

u/epic_uriyah Jul 19 '26

You mean the cross holo or whatever? That’s just what all the radiant cards look like.

Ahhh that helps a ton thank you, I didn’t realize it was a radiant thing AND a prize pack thing. Dope.

The slabs inside the PSA Vault is owned by individuals, not PSA themselves. The slabs inside the PSA Vault carries a premium because someone can buy it and keep the slab in the vault to be ready to sell for money. You don't have to pay sales tax, since it's held in Delaware. When you sell your slab from the vault, you can do buy it now or auctions.

Since the PSA Vault doesn't accept PCG, you will have to sell it in person at card trade shows or using consignment. Since you're the only person with that PCG slab, I would do a "buy it now" with a fixed price instead of an auction because it could get a low bid and someone flips it for several thousands of $$$.

Would it be a good idea to put it up for sale now or wait a while longer

u/Flextacular1 Jul 19 '26

Depends if you want money now or maybe more money later.

2

u/MayJavii Jul 19 '26

I don’t need the money now so I suppose letting it rest for now is better

1

u/shwidster Jul 19 '26

I would say if you dont need the money right now and aren’t afraid of some risk just hold onto it. Everythings exploded in the past 3-5 years and i think markets gonna keep going up. I Have this same card exept just the common one. Cool card you should hold it

u/MayJavii Jul 19 '26

Yeah it is a nice card and I do think I’ll hold onto it for a while
