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

Sableye from Deoxys is being compared as the Normal printing. The current raw market reference is $24.76. 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 $387.50 (+549% vs all-in), PSA 9 around $426.00 (+613% vs all-in), and PSA 10 around $15,936.64 (+26577% 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: Sableye belongs to Deoxys, which TCGCSV lists as released on Feb 14, 2005. Era filter: Mid-Era / WOTC Transition (2003–2011).

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: double-check the exact printing
• Why it matters: Source match is only moderate, so verify the variant before buying; the PSA 10 value is much higher than PSA 9, so the upside depends heavily on finding a copy with true gem-mint potential; raw target is above $15, tying up more capital per attempt.
• 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 Pokémon Investor 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.
