M Rayquaza-EX

M Rayquaza-EX sits in Ancient Origins, part of the XY Era era on Cardboard Assets. Raw spot is $972 per the most recent manually verified value, last refreshed Jul 13, 2026.

I'm scoring this a 66/100 — PLAY. The math: $1,928 expected value at PSA Regular tier, less raw cost $972, less $25 grading fee, less $12 return shipping, less $256 eBay fee = +$663 net per copy. ROI works out to 68% on the raw cost basis.

PSA Regular tier turnaround runs about 65 days. Annualized for capital velocity, that's roughly +383% APR — useful framing if you're thinking about this as a capital allocation, not a one-shot trade.

Pop is growing modestly — +50% Grade 10s in the last 30 days. Not a saturation alarm, but worth tracking. Honestly, the call gets clearer with another month of pop data.

Sourcing raw: at $972, 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 Dialga-EX. Numbers above pull from PSA POP Report, recent eBay sold listings, and live TCGplayer market prices.
