Espeon EX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,932, raw the card sits at $65.15 — 29.7× as much. Of 3.121 copies already graded, 20 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $701.47 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 94 auctions the median was $66.66, across 237 fixed-price sales $75.30. Fixed price therefore fetched about 13 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $46.42 and $78.02, with a median of $60.52. 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 $31.57. Offers well below $18.94 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 $72.68 (11), English $59.60 (370). French fetches about 22 % 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.
