Grading math for this card
Prefilled with the latest qualifying sale for each grade where one exists. Replace any value with your own. We never suggest what grade your copy will get.
Formula from Grading: condition, uncertainty, and economics: grading pays only if your honest chance of the high grade exceeds (raw net + cost − other-outcome net) ÷ (high-grade net − other-outcome net). The 13% fee is an editable assumption, not a quoted tariff.
About Alakazam ex
Alakazam ex 201/165 is the English Scarlet & Violet - 151 Special Illustration Rare illustrated by Shinya Komatsu. Collectors search for it as one of the original Kanto Pokemon ex illustration cards in 151, with separate raw and graded markets.
Why this card matters
Verified factThe official Scarlet & Violet - 151 page describes the set as focused on the original 151 Pokemon in Pokedex order and highlights special cards for Kanto favorites. Alakazam ex 201/165 fits that collector pattern as an English Special Illustration Rare from the 151 checklist. Its importance depends on exact set and number because Alakazam has older, lower-rarity, and non-English cards that are not interchangeable price evidence. [1][2]
Identifying the exact version
Verified factIdentify the card by English Scarlet & Violet - 151, number 201/165, the Alakazam ex name, and the Special Illustration Rare treatment. PSA labels in the opened cert pages describe it as 2023 Pokemon MEW EN-151 #201 Alakazam ex Special Illustration Rare. That label wording is useful for slab matching. Do not merge it with the double-rare Alakazam ex from the same product family, Japanese Pokemon Card 151, or older Alakazam cards. [2][3][4]
What moves the price between versions and grades
Verified factThe opened PSA data show a clear grade distinction. PSA reported September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 similar-item PSA 10 sales from $265.00 to $339.99 on eBay. A PSA 8 cert page showed lower September 2026 similar-item sales, including $55.00 on September 25, 2026 and $57.00 on September 23, 2026. These are slab comps only; they should not be used as raw values. [3][4]
Authenticity checks
AnalysisCompare against official references; multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For raw copies, verify the English 151 set code context, card number 201/165, holo and texture, and visible condition under direct and angled light. For graded copies, the cert should match Alakazam ex, card 201, Special Illustration Rare, grade, and cert number. A correct cert page is only one check; the slab and card must still match the listing photos. [2][3][4]
