Shadow Rider Calyrex V

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $59.14, raw the card sits at $11.58 — 5.1× as much. Of 856 copies already graded, 57 % received a 10 and 31 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $43.90 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 26 auctions the median was $10.86, across 194 fixed-price sales $10.23. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $8.96 and $12.26, with a median of $10.39. 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 $7.57. Offers well below $4.54 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: German $14.00 (11), English $9.89 (318). German fetches about 41 % 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.
