Team Rocket's Weezing

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $116.34, raw the card sits at $7.87 — 14,8× as much. Of 5.303 copies already graded, 35 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $51.88 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 292 auctions the median was $8.35, across 880 fixed-price sales $9.81. Fixed price therefore fetched about 17 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $7.89 and $11.64, with a median of $9.42. 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 $6.80. Offers well below $4.08 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 $11.79 (28), German $9.54 (115), English $7.30 (1284). French fetches about 62 % 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.
