Mega Sableye & Tyranitar GX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $277.64, raw the card sits at $45.37 — 6,1× as much. Of 3.960 copies already graded, 45 % received a 10 and 39 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $165.61 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 115 auctions the median was $32.82, across 249 fixed-price sales $40.96. 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 $28.95 and $43.14, with a median of $35.16. 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 $19.46. Offers well below $11.68 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 $41.91 (396), German $27.55 (26). English fetches about 52 % 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.
