Arceus VSTAR

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €131,68, raw the card sits at €6,43 — 20,5× as much. Of 161 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €127,87 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 10 auctions the median was €5,25, across 100 fixed-price sales €6,40. Fixed price therefore fetched about 22 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €5,25 and €7,47, with a median of €6,40. 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 €4,30. Offers well below €2,58 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 €6,99 (10), Italian €6,68 (24), English €6,05 (74). German fetches about 16 % 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.
