Frequently asked questions

Is it worth grading Empoleon BREAKthrough 38/162?

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $172.58, raw the card sits at $2.54 — 68,0× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $172.58 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.

What will I get for Empoleon BREAKthrough 38/162 if I want to sell quickly?

Half of all sales fell between $1.57 and $2.90, with a median of $1.93. 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 Empoleon BREAKthrough 38/162 unrealistic?

The cheapest genuine sales were around $1.08. Offers well below $0.65 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 lastsold determine the market value?

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.
