  "summary": "Raw prices on the set's chase cards slid for a month, and grading still beats selling the raw card on every one with a slab price, after fees on both. On a few of them, though, a 9 comes back worth less than the card you mailed in.",

    "Population: Prismatic Evolutions, 343 English cards with a TCGplayer market price on both October 12, 2026 and November 10, 2026. Every move compares a card to itself on the same TCGplayer product, first day against last, before anything is ranked or summed; a set total is never compared across days. Prices are TCGplayer market prices for the flagship printing, read from our daily price file. Graded figures are sold medians from our graded comps, PSA population counts come from our daily registry snapshot, and the expected value counts the PSA 9 outcome as well as the PSA 10, net of the grading fee and selling costs. The expected value sits beside the raw card sold on eBay after the same selling fee, so the two compare like with like, and copies that grade below a 9 are counted at nothing, so it is a floor. Angle: whether grading pays: PSA 10 and PSA 9 sale prices against the raw card, the gem rate, and the expected value after fees."
