Frequently asked questions

Is it worth grading Larvesta Surging Sparks 196/191?

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $67.18, raw the card sits at $3.15 — 21,3× as much. Of 1.758 copies already graded, 32 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $35.39 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.

Auction or Buy It Now — which gets more for Larvesta Surging Sparks 196/191?

What will I get for Larvesta Surging Sparks 196/191 if I want to sell quickly?

Half of all sales fell between $2.64 and $4.21, with a median of $3.33. Selling fast lands you nearer the lower end; with patience, good photos and a complete title the upper end is achievable.

Below which price is an offer for Larvesta Surging Sparks 196/191 unrealistic?

How does lastsold determine the market value?

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.
