Brock's Sandslash

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $383.40, raw the card sits at $13.53 — 28,3× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $383.40 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 45 auctions the median was $4.49, across 125 fixed-price sales $11.66. Fixed price therefore fetched about 160 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $6.52 and $13.43, with a median of $9.79. 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 $2.93. Offers well below $1.76 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 $11.95 (213), Japanese $6.52 (29). English fetches about 83 % 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.
