Blastoise VMAX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €170,93, raw the card sits at €27,90 — 6,1× as much. Of 3.655 copies already graded, 59 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €126,70 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 36 auctions the median was €27,12, across 178 fixed-price sales €26,67. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €20,98 and €30,69, with a median of €26,17. 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 €14,66. Offers well below €8,80 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: English €27,89 (138), Italian €26,84 (35). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
