Out of curiosity, how much do you think a psa 10 1st ed prerelease aerodactyl should command over the regular version? Since the prerelease is (I would assume) technically the true rookie card for aerodactyl in English
Thinking about buying one but noticed that there seems to be NM versions everywhere for this card
As far as value, I checked ebay and couldn’t find any recently sold PSA 10 listings. Based on their rarity, however, I could see them commanding a higher premium than a non-prerelease PSA 10, of which there are many.
I’d guess that a prerelease PSA 10 would sell between $50-$100 and it just seems like no one bothers to grade them compared to the more expensive regular release 1st edition.
This is one of those instances where because 10’s are so scarce (extremely tough card to grade), that they can go for significantly more than a PSA 9. They have been known to sell in the $400-$500 range in some instances, while one went at auction for less than $100. Seems like prices are all over the map, at least according to last year’s sales (details in below thread). There’s one up on Ebay in the $300 price range, and I’d be curious to see what it eventually sells for.
That makes a lot of sense. Price range will be all over the place since difficulty to grade and varying demand. Even though it is not a highly sought after card, if someone really wants a PSA 10 they might spend a lot on it.
There’s a way to see what best offers sold for! Websites like watchcount.com allow you to search for sold listing, even ones with best offers, to see what they actually sold for. The listing in question sold for 220 GBP which is a little less than $300 USD. Here is a link if you would like to see for yourself:
I’ve sold 3 in the past 18 month for around 400 USD each on ebay. I’ve also seen a few go for 200-250 USD at auction within that span. Hope this helps you out value-wise but I agree with the comments above, it rarely pops up for sale and is tough to grade in a 10.
