Marshadow & Machamp GX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $235.74, raw the card sits at $37.23 — 6,3× as much. Of 2.463 copies already graded, 48 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $141.11 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 86 auctions the median was $24.37, across 199 fixed-price sales $32.26. Fixed price therefore fetched about 32 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $21.61 and $32.89, with a median of $27.57. 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 $14.95. Offers well below $8.97 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 $24.48 (302), German $21.77 (10). English fetches about 12 % 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.
