FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it worth grading Carbink Ascended Heroes 242/217?

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $51.27, raw the card sits at $5.36 — 9.6× as much. Of 1.268 copies already graded, 68 % received a 10 and 28 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $39.58 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 Carbink Ascended Heroes 242/217?

Across 213 auctions the median was $4.64, across 698 fixed-price sales $6.02. Fixed price therefore fetched about 30 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

What will I get for Carbink Ascended Heroes 242/217 if I want to sell quickly?

Half of all sales fell between $4.83 and $6.99, with a median of $5.82. 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 Carbink Ascended Heroes 242/217 unrealistic?

The cheapest genuine sales were around $3.85. Offers well below $2.31 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.
