Per-grade probability layout pending verified data. Current grade probabilities are seeded — until they're sourced from a real pop report (GemRate / PSA Public API), we don't ship them. For per-scenario math (sell raw / grade & sell N9 / grade & sell N10) on this card, see the optimizer page.

Analysis
Vaporeon ★ sits in Power Keepers, part of the EX Era era on Cardboard Assets. Raw spot is $840 per the most recent manual seed value, last refreshed May 7, 2026.
I'm scoring this a 66/100 — PLAY. The math: $1,538 expected value at PSA Regular tier, less raw cost $840, less $25 grading fee, less $12 return shipping, less $204 eBay fee = +$457 net per copy. ROI works out to 54% on the raw cost basis.
PSA Regular tier turnaround runs about 65 days. Annualized for capital velocity, that's roughly +306% APR — useful framing if you're thinking about this as a capital allocation, not a one-shot trade.
Pop velocity is muted (5.0% in 30d), which I read as a positive signal — the gem-rate denominator isn't ballooning, so existing PSA 10 comps should hold.
Sourcing raw: at $840, source on TCGplayer near-mint listings or eBay BIN. Pictures matter — request high-res scans of corners and edges before buying. Anything obviously off-center isn't a Grade 10 candidate.
Risk to size: grading is one-way. Grading fees aren't refundable, the round-trip eats 65 days of capital, and the comp data lags real-time market shifts. For comparable plays in the same era, look at Flareon ★ and Jolteon ★. Numbers above pull from PSA POP Report, recent eBay sold listings, and PriceCharting comps as of 2026-05-04.
