Elemental ProjectionAPEX $6,728 in 2056
FLOOR: Inflation (3% a year) plus the Base Set holos' worst full decade after their release decade (2014 to 2024, 2.16 times in today's dollars), spread over the 30 years.PULSE: What the 2021 Celebrations Pikachus and Classic Collection (30 cards, the median card) did from release to 2026 at this card's grade path, then their own five-year pace.APEX: The best 30-year outcome we can source: what the 1999 Base Set holos (the median of 14, Charizard left out) did from 1999 to 2026 at this card's grade path (PSA 10 for EG 9.5 and 10, PSA 9 for EG 9), then their own five-year pace.APEX minimum: APEX never ends under 84 times today's Index (the 25th percentile of what the 14 Base Set holos' PSA 10s sell for today over their raw 1999 price, 27 years on, in today's dollars), and on a graded path never under $116 for an EG 9.5 or 10 card or $32 for an EG 9 (in today's dollars: the 25th percentile of what a PSA 10, or PSA 9, of a 2000 or 2001 set sold for over the last year).A PULSE that would end under the FLOOR rides on it: the FLOOR's 30-year multiple times the PULSE cohort's own.The lines follow raw card histories at this card's grade.From today's Elemental Index, in 2056 dollars (3% a year inflation).

Slab ForecastLikeliest slab: PSA 8, $118.50
What this card could sell for in a slab if you send it to a grading company yourself, at the grade it is most likely to get: our own Elemental Grade, rounded the way a slab is (a half grade goes up only when the odds favour the grade above).The odds spread around our grade: the chances of a PSA 10, 9 and 8 are worked out for this copy; the rest spread over the grades below by how fully we read it.The odds for each grade are worked out for this copy: its centering against PSA's limits, its corners, edges and surface, its print era and finish, and how often cards from its set grade 10. Biggest factors here: surface 7.5 (corners and edges 9.5), vintage holo, centering 52.6/47.4 front (back not measured yet).A value to the cent is the median of recorded sales of PSA-graded copies of this exact card and printing.After grading: the slabbed value at the likeliest grade minus the cost to grade (the company's published fee for the tier that covers that value, plus insured shipping both ways for one card; shipping in is our estimate; fees read Oct 12, 2026). Underwater: grading costs more than the slab is worth.Not affiliated with PSA, CGC, SGC, TAG or any grading company.
