Lisia's Appeal

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $52.67, raw the card sits at $5.59 — 9,4× as much. Of 4.042 copies already graded, 28 % received a 10 and 55 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $33.08 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 24 auctions the median was $3.93, across 123 fixed-price sales $5.86. Fixed price therefore fetched about 49 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $4.10 and $6.41, with a median of $5.00. 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 $3.36. Offers well below $2.01 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 $5.17 (486), German $4.43 (50). English fetches about 17 % 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.
