Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $77.09, raw the card sits at $4.25 — 18.1× as much. Of 956 copies already graded, 48 % received a 10 and 40 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $55.56 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 5 auctions the median was $1.68, across 50 fixed-price sales $4.18. Fixed price therefore fetched about 149 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $2.70 and $4.50, with a median of $3.46. 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 $2.03. Offers well below $1.22 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 $3.43 (34), German $2.81 (28). English fetches about 22 % 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.
