The most valuable Celebi cards by confirmed sales are a tie at $78,000: a PSA 10 Gold Star Celebi #100 from EX Crystal Guardians sold in a Fanatics Collect weekly auction on September 13, 2026, and a PSA 10 Celebi ex #117 from EX Unseen Forces sold for the same price at Fanatics Collect on July 5, 2026. A Skyridge Crystal Celebi PSA 10 reached $120,000 in October 2026, but it was still unpaid on October 15. Below are the Celebi cards with the biggest confirmed sales, the results waiting on payment, and how to check a price yourself.

Current as of October 15, 2026. Sales are from Fanatics Collect's sold records, confirmed on each lot page that is still online, and Goldin lot records. Auction prices include buyer's premium. Only sales marked paid or sold are ranked. Fanatics dates are auction close dates in Pacific time, so lot pages can show the next day.

Celebi Results Still Waiting on Payment

The biggest Celebi story of fall 2026 is not in the ranking yet. Three Skyridge Crystal Celebi PSA 10s reached $96,000 (September 27), $120,000 (October 4) and $84,000 (October 11) at Fanatics Collect, and all three were still marked unpaid on October 15, 2026. The highest paid Crystal Celebi PSA 10 we found was $33,000 in August 2026. If any of the three is paid, Crystal Celebi becomes the most valuable Celebi card. Fanatics Collect's lot pages show all three as sold. The unpaid flag appears only in its sold items records.

How to Check a Celebi Price Yourself

Count only paid sales. Fanatics Collect's sold items records mark some results as unpaid (the lot page still says sold), and those can fall through.

Match the grader. The Gold Star Celebi sold for $78,000 in PSA 10 and $72,000 in CGC Pristine 10 within two weeks in September 2026. Our CGC vs PSA guide explains the differences.

Check the population. The Dark Celebi reverse holo had 12 PSA 10s on its lot page on October 15, 2026, the Japanese PLAY Celebi ex 355. Our guide on how to read the PSA pop report shows how to find it.
