Reshiram & Charizard GX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $564.38, raw the card sits at $31.79 — 17.8× as much. Of 12.431 copies already graded, 17 % received a 10 and 49 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $159.53 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 76 auctions the median was $39.45, across 189 fixed-price sales $43.58. Fixed price therefore fetched about 10 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $33.63 and $45.80, with a median of $39.58. 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 $27.69. Offers well below $16.61 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: Japanese $33.96 (20), English $33.83 (269). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
