Galarian Articuno V

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $129.04, raw the card sits at $19.58 — 6,6× as much. Of 2.195 copies already graded, 56 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $88.44 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 52 auctions the median was $12.84, across 287 fixed-price sales $15.11. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $12.52 and $17.38, with a median of $14.55. 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 $9.79. Offers well below $5.87 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 $20.19 (17), English $17.63 (393). German fetches about 15 % 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.
