Shining Mew

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,717, raw the card sits at $175.08 — 9.8× as much. Of 11.909 copies already graded, 29 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $718.17 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 175 auctions the median was $167.82, across 359 fixed-price sales $174.63. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $103.74 and $169.18, with a median of $134.17. 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 $72.85. Offers well below $43.71 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 $165.14 (506), French $149.35 (15), German $79.02 (23). English fetches about 109 % 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.
