Should I Grade My Morpeko ex?
Morpeko ex · Pitch Black 117/084 · Special Illustration Rare
Short answer: Only if a PSA 10 sells for more than $162.97. At the recent eBay raw sold median of $65.00 (PokémonTCG.io has no TCGplayer price for this card yet), PSA Standard grading ($59.99, the cheapest level whose $1,000 max value covers the recent PSA 10 median and that sale), $25.00 shipping and 13.25% selling fees break even at that graded sale price. Recent PSA 10 sales clear that bar (see the sold comps). Check your card’s centering before you pay to grade, and remember many cards come back a 9 or lower.

Median eBay sold prices for Morpeko ex 117/084 by PSA grade, from sales listed on PriceCharting[4] in the 90 days to Oct 20, 2026. Each sale there links to its eBay listing. These are real sales, not our estimates. Grades with fewer than 3 sales are not shown.
| Grade | Median sold | Sales | Sale dates |
|---|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | $610.00 | 14 | Aug 15 – Oct 19 |
| PSA 9 | $178.00 | 3 | Sep 20 – Oct 5 |
| PSA 8 | Not enough recent sales: none in 90 days (we need at least 3), so no median is shown. | ||
Break-even check: the PSA 10 median, $610.00[4], is $447.03 above this page’s $162.97 break-even, so a PSA 10 selling at that price would beat selling raw.
Raw price: eBay sold median, $65.00† from 17 sales, Oct 15 – Oct 18, 2026, via PriceCharting[4], as of Oct 20, 2026 (PokémonTCG.io has no TCGplayer price for this card yet). The calculator uses it as the raw price. Sealed, foreign-language, lot and wrong-card sales are not counted. We switch to the TCGplayer price once one is available.
Our take: At the recent PSA 10 median ($610.00), a 10 would net about $387.80 more than selling raw at the $65.00 eBay raw sold median, after PSA Standard grading ($59.99), $25.00 shipping and 13.25% selling fees. At the PSA 9 median ($178.00), a 9 would net about $13.04 more than selling raw (also PSA Standard, $59.99). Even a 9 comes out ahead at these prices, so grading pays for clean copies, but check what a PSA 8 sells for too.[4]
The calculator below is prefilled with this card, its raw price and the recent PSA 10 sold median. Change the graded value if your copy or the market differs (we never estimate graded prices: the figures on this page are real sales with sources), then add it to My Collection or share the result.
