Armored Mewtwo

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $12,839, raw the card sits at $355.72 — 36,1× as much. Of 6.972 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $1,646 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 157 auctions the median was $149.53, across 435 fixed-price sales $198.22. Fixed price therefore fetched about 33 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $99.08 and $210.14, with a median of $148.58. 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 $69.09. Offers well below $41.45 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 $178.32 (620), Japanese $137.93 (13). English fetches about 29 % 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.
