What is the highest price for Giovanni's Persian since TickerMint began tracking?
+×
TickerMint began tracking Pokemon prices on 2024-02-08, after Giovanni's Persian came out, so these are the highest and lowest prices since we began tracking (2024-02-08), not all-time records. In TickerMint's daily data (since February 2024), the TCGplayer market price for Giovanni's Persian [1st Edition Holofoil] (all conditions) peaked at $292.47 (2026-10-14) and bottomed at $62.75 (2024-06-02).
Is Giovanni's Persian #008/132 worth grading?
+×
Grading Giovanni's Persian #008/132 pays only if you expect a 10: PSA 10 copies are listed from $450.00 on eBay (eBay asks checked Oct 29, 2026) vs $292.47 raw (TCGplayer market), and after a $25 grading fee, $10 shipping and 13% selling fees you'd need about 1 in 4 copies to grade a 10 to break even (a 26% chance). That assumes a 9 or lower sells like a raw copy. "Listed from" is the lowest current PSA 10 asking price on eBay, not a sale, and asks can sit above what copies actually sell for. Whether your copy grades a 10 depends on its centering, corners, edges and surface.
