Centiskorch VMAX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $58.64, raw the card sits at $8.85 — 6,6× as much. Of 1.614 copies already graded, 69 % received a 10 and 23 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $48.66 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 39 auctions the median was $6.73, across 256 fixed-price sales $9.17. Fixed price therefore fetched about 36 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $7.44 and $9.91, with a median of $8.67. 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 $6.05. Offers well below $3.63 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: Italian $12.36 (13), German $10.30 (22), English $7.72 (361). Italian fetches about 60 % 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.
