Iris's Fighting Spirit

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $40.51, raw the card sits at $2.39 — 17.0× as much. Of 1.846 copies already graded, 35 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $24.36 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 116 auctions the median was $1.97, across 169 fixed-price sales $3.00. Fixed price therefore fetched about 52 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $2.01 and $3.61, with a median of $2.65. 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 $1.21. Offers well below $0.72 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: French $5.63 (16), German $2.82 (40), English $2.34 (439). French fetches about 140 % 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.
