Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $109.37, raw the card sits at $18.99 — 5.8× as much. Of 16.930 copies already graded, 64 % received a 10 and 31 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $84.34 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 647 auctions the median was $22.39, across 1165 fixed-price sales $21.82. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $18.90 and $24.39, with a median of $20.26. 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 $16.24. Offers well below $9.74 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 $42.20 (34), Italian $28.34 (20), English $18.99 (1592). French fetches about 133 % 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.
