Deoxys VMAX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €169,21, raw the card sits at €59,58 — 2,8× as much. Of 21.393 copies already graded, 78 % received a 10 and 19 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €149,83 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 113 auctions the median was €79,74, across 357 fixed-price sales €57,81. Auctions therefore fetched about 38 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €49,23 and €65,10, with a median of €55,89. 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 €41,33. Offers well below €24,80 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: Italian €67,74 (21), English €59,52 (429), German €33,97 (33). Italian fetches about 99 % 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.
