Arceus VSTAR

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €84,10, raw the card sits at €15,21 — 5,5× as much. Of 4.885 copies already graded, 56 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €61,91 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 42 auctions the median was €10,93, across 130 fixed-price sales €14,07. Fixed price therefore fetched about 29 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €10,94 and €15,48, with a median of €13,06. 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 €8,64. Offers well below €5,18 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 €16,03 (15), English €13,05 (118), German €8,95 (13). Italian fetches about 79 % 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.
