About these prices
0.8% of copies sent to PSA come back a 10. Sold and median are 90 days of PSA sales. The 9.5 is a CGC and BGS grade, so it carries no PSA population. A PSA 1 selling above a PSA 2 is the market, not a slip: the cheapest slabbed copy of a card people want is its own thing to want.
Priced from 3,968 completed sales, updated Oct 20, 2026.

PSA has graded 7,217 copies. Where they landed:
Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 1.7% of copies reach a 10, which is why the top price is the wrong number to plan around. Weighting each grade’s PSA price by these odds, a submission is worth $581.13£439.36€525.81 on average against $732.09£553.50€662.40 for the card plus $599£452.88€541.98 at Walk-Through, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That loses $150.96£114.13€136.59, so a copy is worth more raw.

What moves the price of this card
The Alakazam on this page is the Unlimited Holofoil printing from Base Set (Shadowless), and it trades at $490.98£371.21€444.25 in near mint condition. The other 1 printing of the same card sits lower, which is normal: the scarcer print run always carries the premium.
Graded, it runs PSA 1 $157.50£119.08€142.51, PSA 2 $81£61.24€73.29, PSA 3 $115.50£87.32€104.51, PSA 4 $120£90.73€108.58, PSA 5 $175.74£132.87€159.01, PSA 6 $230£173.89€208.11, PSA 7 $280.88£212.36€254.14, PSA 8 $637.50£481.98€576.82, PSA 9 $1,359£1,027€1,229, CGC/BGS 9.5 $1,365£1,032€1,235, PSA 10 $9,890£7,477€8,949.

What is a PSA 10 Alakazam worth?
A PSA 10 Alakazam from Base Set (Shadowless) sells for $9,890. 0.8% of the copies PSA has graded came back a 10, so that price is the best case rather than the one a submission should expect.
Is Alakazam from Base Set (Shadowless) worth grading?
On the numbers, no. The average submission is worth $450.40 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $113.09 for a raw copy plus $619 to send it through PSA Walk-Through, so it loses $281.69.
Condition does most of the work below the surface. A copy with soft corners or a print line off centre trades well under the market price shown here, and a copy clean enough to grade trades well above it, which is why the PSA 10 sits at $9,890£7,477€8,949. Before you value your own copy, look at the corners under a light and check the centring on the back, where most cards give themselves away.
