Sylveon VMAX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $186.14, raw the card sits at $71.39 — 2.6× as much. Of 13.016 copies already graded, 71 % received a 10 and 22 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $155.23 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 217 auctions the median was $68.74, across 457 fixed-price sales $67.54. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $49.85 and $68.11, with a median of $59.00. 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 $41.92. Offers well below $25.15 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 $91.70 (16), English $65.64 (571), German $46.91 (37). French fetches about 95 % 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.
