Ho-oh

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €31.123,06, raw the card sits at €2.490,06 — 12,5× as much. Of 1.384 copies already graded, 9 % received a 10 and 24 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €10.501,61 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 51 auctions the median was €2.152,60, across 53 fixed-price sales €1.746,56. Auctions therefore fetched about 23 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €421,00 and €1.746,56, with a median of €999,00. 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 €200,00. Offers well below €120,00 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
