Mewtwo

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $373.28, raw the card sits at $3.51 — 106,2× as much. Of 577 copies already graded, 43 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $198.25 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 46 auctions the median was $1.96, across 116 fixed-price sales $3.32. Fixed price therefore fetched about 69 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $2.30 and $4.20, with a median of $3.13. 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 $1.63. Offers well below $0.98 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: German $5.60 (18), English $3.36 (319), Italian $3.36 (11). German fetches about 67 % 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.
