Armored Mewtwo

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $12,747, raw the card sits at $225.25 — 56,6× as much. Of 6.984 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $1,581 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 170 auctions the median was $149.53, across 483 fixed-price sales $194.70. Fixed price therefore fetched about 30 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $98.85 and $208.22, with a median of $147.29. 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 $68.92. Offers well below $41.35 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: English $215.67 (665), Japanese $152.41 (14). English fetches about 42 % 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.
