Should You Grade Cards From Pokemon Neo Discovery?

48 of 61 tracked Pokemon Neo Discovery cards (79%) have a positive conditional PSA 10 margin before selling fees, shipping and tax. This assumes a PSA 10 result and does not establish positive expected profit across grades. The average recorded PSA 10 population share is 16%. Historical submissions are a selected sample, not a grade prediction for your copy. We rank all 61 Pokemon Neo Discovery cards (released 2001) by conditional PSA 10 margin. Prices are tracked references and may lag the market. Use the card calculator to compare modeled outcomes across grades, enter your actual costs and check the disclosed data gaps.

How We Calculate Grading Profit

Modeled expected net profit combines available grade prices with historical population shares, then subtracts the raw buy price, grading cost and selected selling fees. Conditional PSA 10 profit assumes the highest grade and is a different measure. Neither predicts your card's grade or guarantees a sale. Inspect condition and exact sold comparisons, and include costs that the model does not cover. See the full methodology.
