Plusle

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $266.62, raw the card sits at $31.10 — 8.6× as much. Of 2.389 copies already graded, 34 % received a 10 and 54 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $118.85 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 174 auctions the median was $35.56, across 398 fixed-price sales $42.47. Fixed price therefore fetched about 19 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $34.16 and $47.16, with a median of $40.14. 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 $27.43. Offers well below $16.46 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 $49.90 (11), English $39.77 (550), German $26.16 (69). Italian fetches about 91 % more.

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.
