Lt. Surge's Pikachu

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €438,00, raw the card sits at €7,87 — 55,7× as much. Of 1.134 copies already graded, 19 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €148,53 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 77 auctions the median was €5,55, across 135 fixed-price sales €5,51. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €3,94 and €7,89, with a median of €5,24. 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 €3,13. Offers well below €1,88 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
