Giovanni's Persian

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $7,445, raw the card sits at $44.04 — 169,1× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $7,445 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.

Across 184 auctions the median was $35.22, across 387 fixed-price sales $42.25. Fixed price therefore fetched about 20 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $24.13 and $47.98, with a median of $34.29. 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 $18.71. Offers well below $11.23 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 $34.21 (513), Japanese $20.24 (88). English fetches about 69 % 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.
