Frequently asked questions

Is it worth grading Empoleon Dark Explorers 29/108?

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,593, raw the card sits at $4.42 — 360,2× as much. Of 72 copies already graded, 12 % received a 10 and 39 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $282.78 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.

What will I get for Empoleon Dark Explorers 29/108 if I want to sell quickly?

Half of all sales fell between $2.45 and $5.76, with a median of $3.86. Selling fast lands you nearer the lower end; with patience, good photos and a complete title the upper end is achievable.

Below which price is an offer for Empoleon Dark Explorers 29/108 unrealistic?

The cheapest genuine sales were around $1.71. Offers well below $1.02 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

How does lastsold determine the market value?

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.
