Chandelure VMAX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $106.94, raw the card sits at $10.09 — 10,6× as much. Of 474 copies already graded, 64 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $106.94 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 25 auctions the median was $6.85, across 110 fixed-price sales $10.72. Fixed price therefore fetched about 57 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $7.69 and $11.67, with a median of $9.63. 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 $5.83. Offers well below $3.50 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 $11.12 (11), English $9.83 (181). German fetches about 13 % 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.
