How we compute this

Range we would defend: $1,223 – $1,385 (90% interval, 180 sales).

Median of completed public sales for this exact card, printing and grade over a rolling 90-day window, with a 14-day recency half-life and an interquartile trim. Lots, reprints, proxies, damaged cards and cross-grader mismatches are excluded, and every exclusion is listed with its reason further down this page.

Below eight sales we publish the price and suppress the change figure, because a move computed from a handful of sales is a fact about our sample, not about the market.

Reading this chart, and the data behind it

Each dot is a recorded sale at its own date. Where several sales share a bucket, the whisker is the range and the tick is the trimmed mean — there is no first or last trade in a bucket, so there is nothing to colour green or red. The connecting line is an inference: it thins, then dashes, then dots as the gap between sales widens, and past 90 days a hatched band says so outright. We never carry the last price forward.

Indicators

We publish the gate, not a guess. An oscillator computed on a market this sparse would be a picture of our silence, not of the market.

RSI(14) and MACD are computable for this cell (180 sales in the window) — the panes land with the chart upgrade. We publish the gate, not a guess.

Sales velocity

Off its high

2.9%

Down 2.9% from its recorded high of $1,343. That high is a real sale, not a model.

Dispersion

4.5%

Robust coefficient of variation across 10 recent comps. Tight — the comps agree.

Against gold

Against gold

We cannot compute this card against gold yet. Annualising a comparison needs a daily gold print for every anchor date, and we have 0 days of that series — the shortest window on this module needs 366. The backfill has not run. We would rather show you the gap than a number computed from one price.

Live comparison for this card begins when our sales history does — we publish returns only from sales we can show you. Market-level, here is what 20 years looked like:

Pokémon index, 20 years
+3,261%
Gold, same 20 years
+637%
In gold terms
×4.6

And 2025, in the same breath: gold +65%, with most cards behind it. A yardstick that only ever flatters the thing it measures is not a yardstick.

Index figures: Card Ladder, published aggregates. Gold: London PM price. We are not affiliated with Card Ladder. Both figures are cited as published, and neither is computed by us.

Your slab

Two dates tell you what happened between them, not what happened along the way — a different buy date, even a few weeks different, can flip this result. Sold prices are what buyers paid; selling pays fees and shipping, which this comparison does not subtract. Assumes your slab sells like the median PSA 8 — not an appraisal of your card’s eye appeal, cert or subgrades.

Past performance describes the past, not the future. Slabpricing compares recorded prices; it does not give investment advice. We hold no positions in the cards we price.

Scarcity explains price, so it sits directly under the money. The row for your selected grade is highlighted. A company with no feed shows a dash rather than a zero, because "we don't know" and "none exist" are different facts.

Which printing is mine?

Five diagnostics, in order of how quickly you can check them. The photographs are commissioned and not yet shot, so this degrades to the numbered list — which is the part that actually identifies the card.

  1. 1st Edition stamp. A circular EDITION 1 stamp on the left of the art window. Present only on 1st Edition Shadowless. There is no 1st Edition Unlimited.
  2. Drop shadow. Look at the right and bottom edge of the art window. A shadow band means Unlimited or 4th Print. No shadow means 1st Edition or Shadowless.
  3. Copyright line. 1st Edition and Shadowless include 99 in the copyright years. Unlimited omits it. The 4th Print ends 1999-2000.
  4. HP font weight. Shadowless prints run thinner; the whole card reads lighter.
  5. Set symbol and number. Base Set has no set symbol. A circled 2 is Base Set 2 and it is 4/130, not 4/102 — a different card, hard-excluded from every comp on this page.

How this number is made. Median of completed public sales for this exact (card, variant, grade) triple over a rolling 90-day window, with a 14-day recency half-life and an interquartile trim. We exclude lots, reprints, proxies, damaged cards and cross-grader mismatches, and we list every exclusion with its reason. Below eight sales we publish the price but suppress the change figure. Indicator gates are computed on the volume clock, not the calendar, and stored — the page renders a verdict, it never computes one. Nothing here is an appraisal or an offer.

The metals bar is display, never settlement. When your browser can reach it, the strip at the bottom shows a live Pyth Network price — the same reference Kalshi settles its 15-minute metals markets against — and labels its move against our London PM print, because that is a live-versus-settle comparison and not a daily change. Every ounce figure on this page, the Gold Tier threshold and the oz-meter are computed off the London PM 30-day trailing mean and are untouched by that bar. If the live feed is unreachable, the strip shows the London print and says so.
