Preview a local card photo, compare scanner and app workflows, correct the exact printing, then normalize current sold comps before choosing raw sale, grading, bundle, renegotiate, or skip.

| Tool | First step | Manual correction before pricing |
|---|---|---|
| TCGplayer app | Scan the card in the app. | Verify set, foiling, condition, and language; the same art can appear in multiple sets. |
| PriceCharting photo search | Upload a clear photo for a candidate match. | Treat low confidence as unresolved; confirm category and retry with keywords. |
| PokeScope | Use its camera workflow for a candidate identity. | Treat recognition and price claims as vendor output; verify the exact printing independently. |
| eBay Product Research | Search the corrected card identity. | Filter actual sales by exact set, number, variant, condition, and grade. |
Exact-card lookup
Start with identity, not price. Confirm the printed name, set, collector number, edition or foil treatment, language, and condition before opening sold results. Then use the low, typical, and high accepted sales as inputs above instead of copying one catalog estimate or active listing.
| Lookup field | Proof to capture | Error it prevents |
|---|---|---|
| Card name | Printed name on the card | Prevents a broad character search from becoming the final comp pool. |
| Set + collector number | Set symbol/name and number such as 2/102 or 10/102 | Separates cards that reuse the same character and artwork across releases. |
| Printing + language | Edition stamp, artwork-box shadow, holo treatment, promo mark, and language | Keeps 1st Edition, Shadowless, unlimited, promo, and international sales apart. |
| Condition or slab grade | Front/back photos or grading-company label and grade | Stops damaged, played, near-mint, and slabbed sales from being averaged together. |
| Accepted-sale evidence | Exact eBay Product Research results plus a catalog cross-check | Replaces active asking prices with a dated range that reflects real transactions. |
Enter exact-card sold comps and proof quality. The finder adjusts for condition, fees, shipping, grading cost, and evidence gaps so you can choose raw sale, grading, bundle, renegotiate, or skip.
The prefilled numbers are sample inputs, not live price quotes. PSA reopened its $39.99 Value tier (cards worth up to $500) on Oct 29, 2026, while Value Bulk is still paused; the grading-cost field is editable because services, insured value, and timing change quickly.
The entered graded comps leave enough upside to justify a closer PSA or grading-service submission check.
Condition-adjusted from the sold comps you entered.
Wide spreads need variant and outlier checks.
24% estimated ROI from entered buy cost.
68% weighted by grade-confidence setting.

These exact-printing PriceCharting estimates were checked 2026-08-27. They summarize completed-sale history; they are not offers, live quotes, or substitutes for current exact-variant sold comps. Compare Blastoise, Mewtwo, Raichu, Vaporeon, Mew, and Ancient Mew examples, load only the identity, then enter your own accepted-sale evidence above.

Entei value fan-out · reviewed 2026-08-29
“Entei card value” is not one price. Start with the collector number and printing, then use current accepted sales for that exact card and condition. The four identity lanes below intentionally omit a static price so a dated catalog estimate cannot replace live exact-variant evidence.
| Exact identity | Start here | Reject from the comp pool | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entei Wizards Black Star Promo · 34/53 Reverse-holo movie promo | Confirm promo number 34 and the reverse-holo treatment; also record sealed or opened state. | Neo Revelation 6/64 holo, Neo Revelation 17/64 non-holo, other Entei promos, Japanese cards, sealed/opened mismatches, and graded sales. | |
| Entei Neo Revelation · 6/64 Holo rare; unlimited and 1st Edition must stay separate | Confirm collector number 6/64, holo treatment, edition stamp, language, and raw condition or exact slab grade. | Neo Revelation 17/64 non-holo, promo #34, Japanese No.244, unlimited/1st Edition mismatches, and different grades. | |
| Entei Neo Revelation · 17/64 Non-holo rare | Confirm collector number 17/64 and the non-holo printing before pulling current raw comps. | Holo 6/64, movie promo #34, Japanese No.244, other languages, condition mismatches, and slabbed sales. | |
| Entei V Crown Zenith: Galarian Gallery · GG36/GG70 Ultra Rare | Confirm GG36/GG70, English language, normal-size card, and raw condition before using modern comps. | Crown Zenith main-set Entei 021, jumbo cards, Japanese printings, other Entei V cards, and graded sales. |
Use Pokemon or the catalog identity source to verify the printing, PriceCharting only as dated completed-sale context, and eBay Product Research for current accepted-sale evidence. Sealed promo, raw condition, language, edition, and grading-company/grade mismatches remain separate pools.
Machamp exact-printing example · reviewed 2026-08-30
A familiar English Base Set Machamp can carry a 1st Edition stamp and still be the widely distributed starter-deck card. PSA specifically documents that distribution. Value changes only after the exact printing, wrapper state, condition, and grade are held constant, so this module deliberately does not publish one timeless Machamp price.
| Printing candidate | Confirm | Exclude from comps | Evidence boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base Set 8/102, shadowed Galaxy Star holo | Confirm English 8/102, the artwork-box drop shadow, the 1st Edition stamp, and the original Galaxy Star holo pattern. | Shadowless layout, CD-ROM Starter Kit cosmos holo, Trainer Deck A, non-English cards, wrapper-state mismatches, and any different slab company or grade. | PSA documents the starter-deck distribution and explains why the stamp alone does not create a normal Base Set 1st Edition premium. Open source |
| Base Set 8/102, Shadowless holo | Confirm English 8/102 and no drop shadow along the right edge of the artwork box; keep raw condition or the exact slab grade in the query. | Later shadowed starter-deck copies, cosmos holo, Trainer Deck A, replicas, wrapper-only listings, and mismatched condition or grade. | Use a dedicated Shadowless catalog lane, then replace its dated estimate with current accepted sales for the exact condition. Open source |
| Base Set 8/102, CD-ROM Starter Kit cosmos holo | Confirm the cosmos holofoil pattern associated with the 2-Player CD-ROM Starter Kit and document the full front, back, and packaging provenance when present. | The standard Galaxy Star holo, Shadowless layout, speculative test prints, Trainer Deck A, and listings that call every sparkle pattern “cosmos.” | CGC identifies the CD-ROM Starter Kit cosmos-holo variant; a foil label without clear photos is not enough to accept a premium comp. Open source |
Community appraisal threads, PokeScope, DexTCG, and video explainers can surface a candidate identity, but they do not override PSA or CGC printing evidence or current accepted sales. Never infer a guaranteed price from a sealed wrapper, a stamp, or one high sale.
| Signal | How to use it | Reseller action |
|---|---|---|
| Raw sold comps cluster tightly | Use the adjusted median as the working resale range and avoid anchoring to the highest sale. | Sell raw if net profit is acceptable and graded comps do not add enough spread. |
| Raw comps are scattered | Check set number, language, reverse holo status, condition, and sale date before trusting the average. | Use the low end for buy ceilings until the exact variant is confirmed. |
| PSA 9 and PSA 10 comps are both strong | Model grading only after grading fees, shipping, platform fees, and time delay. | Grade only cards with clean centering, surface, edges, corners, and a current service tier. |
| Low value or weak photos | One-off shipping and condition disputes can erase the margin on low-dollar singles. | Bundle, bulk out, ask for back photos, or skip unless the card completes a lot. |
Identify exact card name, set, collector number, rarity, language, holo treatment, and raw or slab state.
Pull recent sold comps from eBay Product Research and a catalog source, then remove mismatched variants and outliers.
Adjust the raw range for condition, centering, surface scratches, edge whitening, bends, and missing photos.
Compare raw net profit against PSA 9 and PSA 10 outcomes after current grading cost, platform fees, and delay.
Route the card to sell raw, grade first, bundle, renegotiate, or skip.
Raw comps: $42, $48, $55. Buy cost: $28.
Sell raw if condition is light play; grade only if centering and surface support a real high-grade shot.
Raw comps: $210, $260, $315. Buy cost: $160.
Run PSA 9 and PSA 10 comps because the grade spread can change the whole buy decision.
Raw comps: $3, $4, $6. Buy cost: $1.
Do not grade. Bundle into a set, local lot, or catalog inventory if shipping economics work.
