Deoxys VMAX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €165,06, raw the card sits at €58,28 — 2,8× as much. Of 21.393 copies already graded, 78 % received a 10 and 19 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €146,36 on average, before fees and shipping. Rule of thumb: submit when the value at a realistic grade is at least double the raw value — which is the case here. Centering decides it: an off-centre card will not get a 10. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 150 auctions the median was €70,68, across 415 fixed-price sales €61,27. Auctions therefore fetched about 15 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €49,71 and €65,10, with a median of €56,07. Selling fast lands you nearer the lower end; with patience, good photos and a complete title the upper end is achievable.

The cheapest genuine sales were around €41,50. Offers well below €24,90 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

From real sales: Italian €63,58 (11), English €56,48 (519), German €33,97 (33). Italian fetches about 87 % more.

lastsold uses only real sales — eBay plus auction houses like Goldin & Fanatics — recent sales count more (recency weighting), outliers and fakes are removed. It's not an estimate but actual sold prices, separated by condition, language and grading.
