Vaporeon ★

Vaporeon ★ sits in Power Keepers, part of the EX Era era on Cardboard Assets. Raw spot is $901 per the most recent manually verified value, last refreshed Jul 13, 2026.

I'm scoring this a 62/100 — PLAY. The math: $1,490 expected value at PSA Regular tier, less raw cost $901, less $25 grading fee, less $12 return shipping, less $198 eBay fee = +$354 net per copy. ROI works out to 39% on the raw cost basis.

PSA Regular tier turnaround runs about 65 days. Annualized for capital velocity, that's roughly +221% APR — useful framing if you're thinking about this as a capital allocation, not a one-shot trade.

Pop velocity is muted (1.9% 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 $901, 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 live TCGplayer market prices.
