Lisia's Appeal

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $77.81, raw the card sits at $23.56 — 3.3× as much. Of 7.360 copies already graded, 30 % received a 10 and 56 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $42.54 on average, before fees and shipping. So submitting only pays off if the card truly hits a 10 — at any lower grade little remains after fees. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 58 auctions the median was $24.05, across 162 fixed-price sales $29.14. Fixed price therefore fetched about 21 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $23.40 and $33.14, with a median of $28.54. 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 $19.15. Offers well below $11.49 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: German $27.41 (37), English $20.11 (411). German fetches about 36 % 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.
