Detective Pikachu

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $989.15, raw the card sits at $10.96 — 90.3× as much. Of 1.117 copies already graded, 22 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $293.52 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 54 auctions the median was $9.94, across 120 fixed-price sales $9.69. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $5.87 and $10.64, with a median of $8.42. 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 $4.80. Offers well below $2.88 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 $9.37 (14), English $9.20 (265). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
