Frequently asked questions
Is it worth grading M Sceptile EX Ancient Origins 85/98?
A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,840, raw the card sits at $90.37 — 20.4× as much. Of 1.567 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $756.14 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.
Auction or Buy It Now — which gets more for M Sceptile EX Ancient Origins 85/98?
Across 90 auctions the median was $79.35, across 160 fixed-price sales $87.52. Fixed price therefore fetched about 10 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.
What will I get for M Sceptile EX Ancient Origins 85/98 if I want to sell quickly?
Half of all sales fell between $49.33 and $100.19, with a median of $72.65. Selling fast lands you nearer the lower end; with patience, good photos and a complete title the upper end is achievable.
Below which price is an offer for M Sceptile EX Ancient Origins 85/98 unrealistic?
The cheapest genuine sales were around $31.91. Offers well below $19.15 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.
How does Last Sold determine the market value?
Last Sold 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.
