Flareon ★

Flareon ★ sits in Power Keepers, part of the EX Era era on Cardboard Assets. Raw spot is $1,500 per the most recent manual seed value, last refreshed May 4, 2026.

I'm scoring this a 70/100 — PLAY. The math: $2,747 expected value at PSA Regular tier, less raw cost $1,500, less $25 grading fee, less $12 return shipping, less $364 eBay fee = +$846 net per copy. ROI works out to 56% on the raw cost basis.

PSA Regular tier turnaround runs about 65 days. Annualized for capital velocity, that's roughly +317% APR — useful framing if you're thinking about this as a capital allocation, not a one-shot trade.

Pop velocity is muted (5.0% 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: high-end card. Don't buy without seeing high-resolution scans of every edge and the surface. Comp $1,500 is your ceiling — bid below it to leave room for grading risk. Auction houses (PWCC, Goldin) sell raw copies of cards in this range with provenance.

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.
