Espeon & Deoxys GX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $700.95, raw the card sits at $48.90 — 14.3× as much. Of 3.662 copies already graded, 39 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $329.59 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 111 auctions the median was $39.37, across 302 fixed-price sales $46.91. Fixed price therefore fetched about 19 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $31.78 and $52.71, with a median of $40.63. 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 $22.83. Offers well below $13.70 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 $49.97 (397), German $28.50 (21). English fetches about 75 % 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.
