Shining Arceus

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €359,23, raw the card sits at €29,26 — 12,3× as much. Of 7.214 copies already graded, 27 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €141,30 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 47 auctions the median was €35,50, across 162 fixed-price sales €30,31. Auctions therefore fetched about 17 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €20,00 and €30,31, with a median of €24,19. 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 €16,59. Offers well below €9,95 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 €32,05 (40), English €21,81 (118). Italian fetches about 47 % 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.
