Is it worth grading Metal Energy Expedition Base Set 159/165?
A PSA 10 currently sells for about $98.80, raw the card sits at $8.98 — 11.0× as much. Of 95 copies already graded, 23 % received a 10 and 42 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $65.45 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.
Auction or Buy It Now — which gets more for Metal Energy Expedition Base Set 159/165?

What will I get for Metal Energy Expedition Base Set 159/165 if I want to sell quickly?
Half of all sales fell between $5.72 and $10.59, with a median of $7.78. Selling fast lands you nearer the lower end; with patience, good photos and a complete title the upper end is achievable.
Below which price is an offer for Metal Energy Expedition Base Set 159/165 unrealistic?

How does lastsold determine the market value?
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.
