Ho-oh

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $45,502, raw the card sits at $335.69 — 135,5× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $45,502 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 114 auctions the median was $154.52, across 290 fixed-price sales $215.65. Fixed price therefore fetched about 40 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $109.44 and $231.31, with a median of $160.75. 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 $73.91. Offers well below $44.34 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 $196.10 (335), German $141.09 (30). English fetches about 39 % 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.
