Mewtwo EX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $602.25, raw the card sits at $38.30 — 15,7× as much. Of 12.998 copies already graded, 26 % received a 10 and 47 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $221.22 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 294 auctions the median was $31.86, across 681 fixed-price sales $41.15. Fixed price therefore fetched about 29 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $24.52 and $45.28, with a median of $34.26. 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 $17.22. Offers well below $10.33 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: Italian $34.76 (18), German $34.14 (14), English $31.79 (812). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
