Simisear VSTAR

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $154.74, raw the card sits at $26.95 — 5.7× as much. Of 6.287 copies already graded, 54 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $103.37 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 140 auctions the median was $30.05, across 502 fixed-price sales $33.70. Fixed price therefore fetched about 12 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $26.10 and $34.61, with a median of $30.15. 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 $23.16. Offers well below $13.90 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: English $30.12 (501), German $28.08 (18), French $26.62 (10). English fetches about 13 % more.

Last Sold 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.
