Gengar VMAX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €209,91, raw the card sits at €43,70 — 4,8× as much. Of 1.899 copies already graded, 52 % received a 10 and 31 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €139,99 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 348 auctions the median was €39,90, across 553 fixed-price sales €43,70. Fixed price therefore fetched about 10 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €32,00 and €43,64, with a median of €37,49. 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 €26,27. Offers well below €15,76 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: Italian €48,03 (36), French €39,55 (17), English €37,43 (533). Italian fetches about 66 % 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.
