Misty's Psyduck

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $300.13, raw the card sits at $46.88 — 6.4× as much. Of 30.370 copies already graded, 27 % received a 10 and 56 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $126.74 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 739 auctions the median was $63.81, across 1135 fixed-price sales $68.70. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $56.01 and $70.17, with a median of $62.67. 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 $49.08. Offers well below $29.45 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 $67.11 (82), English $53.04 (1887), German $47.30 (226). French fetches about 54 % 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.
