Team Rocket's Persian ex

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €46,80, raw the card sits at €5,01 — 9,3× as much. Of 3.947 copies already graded, 69 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €40,42 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 123 auctions the median was €4,37, across 358 fixed-price sales €5,40. Fixed price therefore fetched about 24 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €4,11 and €6,43, with a median of €5,20. 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 €3,44. Offers well below €2,06 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: German €6,50 (40), Italian €5,31 (28), French €5,00 (70). German fetches about 39 % 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.
