Ethan's Adventure

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $65.03, raw the card sits at $3.36 — 19,4× as much. Of 1.401 copies already graded, 54 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $44.73 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 48 auctions the median was $3.93, across 185 fixed-price sales $6.95. Fixed price therefore fetched about 77 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $3.85 and $6.51, with a median of $4.69. 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 $2.96. Offers well below $1.78 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 $8.63 (12), German $4.34 (38), English $3.56 (518). French fetches about 143 % 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.
