Which Base Set cards carry the widest gap between the raw ask and the PSA 10 sold median, on 5 or more verified comps? A wide gap is where grading adds the most, and where a raw copy in gem-ready condition is priced as if it were not.
PSA 10 verified sold median over the raw ask, cards with 5 or more verified PSA 10 comps.

Raw is the canonical printing's TCGplayer ask, the same figure the card page shows. PSA 10 and PSA 9 are eBay sold medians verified per listing, printed with their comp counts; a premium is only computed on 5 or more PSA 10 comps.
Gem rates come from the PSA registry snapshot and are only trusted on lines of 100 or more slabs; a zero beside a real population is a provider gap and is withheld, never shown as 0%. Moves and highs come from each product's own recorded series, trimmed at the price-rule change of 2026-09-07, and ignore cards under $5.
Every figure carries its sample. A short series, a thin comp count or a small registry is printed beside the number rather than hidden, and a card that lacks the figure a reading needs is left off that reading instead of scored on a guess.
