Full Heal first edition: a focused grading check

Full Heal is the subject of this review. Other cards containing the word Full do not belong in its comparison. The remaining Base Set first-edition record is an individual example; it cannot establish that this printing beats every modern card.

What to verify for this topic

Confirm the first-edition stamp, collector number and condition before comparing a raw listing with this record. Examine whitening and surface wear as well as centering. A small raw price can still leave a meaningful loss after grading and sale expenses.

Read the model correctly

The comparison uses a $25 PSA Value Bulk model fee and a 13% selling fee. Verify current service eligibility, declared-value limits and possible upcharges before submitting. The table excludes shipping, tax, insurance, supplies and time costs.

Expected net profit weights resale outcomes across the recorded grade distribution, applies the selling fee, and deducts raw and grading costs once. PSA 10 net profit assumes the card receives PSA 10. PSA 10 ROI divides that conditional profit by raw plus grading cost. It is not expected ROI.

Historical population shares are assumptions for this calculation, not personal grading probabilities. Missing grade-price references may use the engine's raw-price fallback; unmodeled outcomes and sparse records can materially change the result. Inspect the current card detail and replace reference inputs with your actual costs and verified sold evidence.

Incomplete outcome pricing in this snapshot: Full Heal [1st Edition] #82. Treat their expected results as provisional.

Build a repeatable decision

Open a card record, check the exact variant and source, adjust the purchase assumptions, and save the analysis to your account. Revisit it before buying or submitting. The methodology explains the model; Pro describes the available research features. A saved analysis records a decision assumption, not a realized return.

Correction — September 5, 2026: The prior Full Heal comparison included unrelated Lillie's Full Force, Full Face Guard and Pikachu Full Art cards. Removed those entries and unsupported grading claims. The URL is preserved so earlier links lead to the correction. The current table replaces the historical figures with a dated, explicitly labeled model snapshot.
