Dark Electrode

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $214.84, raw the card sits at $6.37 — 33.7× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns $214.84 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.

Across 23 auctions the median was $4.51, across 40 fixed-price sales $5.62. Fixed price therefore fetched about 25 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $4.14 and $6.71, with a median of $5.07. 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 $2.95. Offers well below $1.77 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 $6.13 (66), German $5.62 (14). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
