$0.48 (TCGplayer Market price: The going rate for an ungraded copy of this exact printing, from actual sales data — TCGplayer for USD, Cardmarket for EUR. Updated daily.)
PSA: Professional Sports Authenticator, the biggest grading company. Grades 1–10; PSA 10 is Gem Mint, and PSA slabs are the easiest to price and sell.
CGC: Certified Guaranty Company, one of the big three graders. Grades 1–10, with a Pristine 10 above Gem Mint 10; CGC slabs often sell a little below PSA.
BGS: Beckett Grading Services, one of the big three graders. Grades 1–10 in half steps; a Black Label 10 is perfect on all four subgrades.
SGC: Sportscard Guaranty — a long-running grader with black-bordered slabs. Grades 1–10 in half steps; fewer Pokémon sales than the big three.
