Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno GX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $162.61, raw the card sits at $33.98 — 4.8× as much. Of 20.036 copies already graded, 50 % received a 10 and 41 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $108.38 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 344 auctions the median was $38.82, across 584 fixed-price sales $41.98. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $33.53 and $44.82, with a median of $38.49. 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 $27.97. Offers well below $16.78 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 $34.00 (809), German $33.57 (10). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

Last Sold 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.
