Iris's Fighting Spirit

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $109.90, raw the card sits at $21.08 — 5.2× as much. Of 1.788 copies already graded, 47 % received a 10 and 41 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $69.43 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 204 auctions the median was $30.53, across 533 fixed-price sales $35.33. Fixed price therefore fetched about 16 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $29.25 and $41.22, with a median of $34.40. 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 $24.07. Offers well below $14.44 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: French $43.61 (31), English $28.39 (893), German $23.63 (57). French fetches about 85 % more.

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.
