Light Toxtricity

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $1,796, raw the card sits at $6.28 — 286.2× as much. Of 3.919 copies already graded, 2 % received a 10 and 22 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $75.96 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 56 auctions the median was $6.41, across 391 fixed-price sales $7.07. 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 $5.69 and $8.38, with a median of $6.91. 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 $4.21. Offers well below $2.53 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 $7.18 (498), Italian $6.20 (46), German $2.82 (11). English fetches about 155 % 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.
