Onsite market history snapshot
This page keeps the core value history on PokémonInvestor when the exact variant match is verified. If the price-guide match points to a different printing, graded values are hidden instead of mixing raw and PSA data from different cards.
eBay production API is verified locally. The next build step is to store eBay Browse/Finding comp snapshots per card and render them here, instead of relying on users to click out to eBay searches.
Raw vs graded value snapshot
The chart below is designed for sharing and quick decisions: it shows the raw market price plus PSA 6, PSA 7, PSA 8, PSA 9, and PSA 10 values for this specific card. Use it to see how low the grade can land before the setup starts losing money.
The investment angle
Phantump from SV06: Twilight Masquerade is being compared as the Normal printing. The current raw market reference is $0.10. If you submit it to PSA, use the service selector above to model the fee because collectors may choose bulk, value, or rush/regular service.
That all-in number includes the raw card plus a single-card PSA submission estimate of $34.98 ($24.99 grading fee plus $9.99 shipping/return allowance). It does not assume a big bulk order, because a single-card estimate is easier for most collectors to understand.
At today’s snapshot, the model shows PSA 8 around $0.00 (-100% vs all-in), PSA 9 around $0.00 (-100% vs all-in), and PSA 10 around $0.00 (-100% vs all-in). The best setups are the ones where PSA 9 still looks reasonable and PSA 10 becomes the upside, not the only way to win.
Release date and era context
Release date: Phantump belongs to SV06: Twilight Masquerade, which TCGCSV lists as released on May 24, 2024. Era filter: Modern Era (2011–Present).
Printing and condition: what to check
When card investors talk about the printing, they mean the exact version of the card: regular holo, reverse holo, cosmos holo, promo, stamped promo, deck exclusive, language, or event release. Two cards can have the same Pokémon and card number but very different prices if the printing is different.
Condition is the other half of the decision. A Near Mint listing is not automatically a PSA 10 candidate. Before buying a grading candidate, look closely for centering, clean corners, sharp edges, surface scratches, print lines, dents, whitening, and holo wear.
- Market confidence: review carefully
- Why it matters: Compare the exact card title, printing, and photos before relying on the numbers.
- Buying rule: pay attention to the exact printing first, then only chase copies that look clean enough to grade well.
Market reality check
We use marketplace activity as a reality check, not just headline price guides. Before acting on any card, compare recent sold comps, active listings, seller photos, and the exact printing so the numbers match the card in front of you.
Use the onsite values first. When eBay API comp snapshots are stored for this card, this section should show recent comparable listings directly on PokémonInvestor so readers do not have to leave the decision page to understand market reality.
How to turn this research into a buying decision
Start with the buy zone, then open current listings and compare photos. The best candidates are clean copies priced near the model, not random Near Mint cards with weak photos. If the card is above the buy zone or the photos show whitening, scratches, dents, bad centering, or print lines, the expected return can disappear quickly.
