Shining Genesect

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €123,57, raw the card sits at €13,53 — 9,1× as much. Of 5.071 copies already graded, 31 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €63,11 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 28 auctions the median was €10,52, across 116 fixed-price sales €16,86. Fixed price therefore fetched about 60 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €10,47 and €16,68, with a median of €13,45. 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 €8,86. Offers well below €5,32 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 €16,02 (44), English €12,09 (56). Italian fetches about 33 % 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.
