Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $163.69, raw the card sits at $46.00 — 3.6× as much. Of 12.546 copies already graded, 61 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $125.43 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 328 auctions the median was $60.91, across 550 fixed-price sales $68.23. 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 $53.51 and $68.71, with a median of $60.77. 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 $48.38. Offers well below $29.03 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 $100.23 (22), Italian $59.30 (14), English $50.28 (896). French fetches about 106 % 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.
