Jolteon VMAX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $79.17, raw the card sits at $9.73 — 8,1× as much. Of 3.273 copies already graded, 62 % received a 10 and 27 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $65.29 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 23 auctions the median was $11.79, across 48 fixed-price sales $12.68. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $9.16 and $13.07, with a median of $10.78. 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 $6.73. Offers well below $4.04 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: German $12.71 (12), English $9.65 (89). German fetches about 32 % 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.
