Darkrai VSTAR

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $227.88, raw the card sits at $105.35 — 2,2× as much. Of 19.211 copies already graded, 60 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $174.72 on average, before fees and shipping. So submitting only pays off if the card truly hits a 10 — at any lower grade little remains after fees. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 234 auctions the median was $100.51, across 614 fixed-price sales $106.64. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $86.61 and $109.51, with a median of $96.73. 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 $74.59. Offers well below $44.75 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 $181.76 (24), German $112.25 (36), Italian $105.60 (37). French fetches about 73 % 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.
