Sylveon VMAX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $173.47, raw the card sits at $72.48 — 2,4× as much. Of 13.016 copies already graded, 71 % received a 10 and 22 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $149.37 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 206 auctions the median was $68.47, across 448 fixed-price sales $66.43. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $50.05 and $67.86, with a median of $58.77. 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 $42.17. Offers well below $25.30 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 $95.41 (18), English $60.99 (563), German $56.12 (35). French fetches about 70 % 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.
