Gardevoir

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,939, raw the card sits at $157.95 — 12,3× as much. Of 455 copies already graded, 10 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $636.42 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 41 auctions the median was $25.07, across 64 fixed-price sales $35.27. Fixed price therefore fetched about 41 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $19.63 and $43.38, with a median of $29.47. 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 $14.03. Offers well below $8.42 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: English $28.61 (141), German $15.02 (10). English fetches about 91 % 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.
