Ho-oh

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €402,33, raw the card sits at €26,15 — 15,4× as much. Of 562 copies already graded, 16 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €150,36 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 56 auctions the median was €10,50, across 163 fixed-price sales €15,67. Fixed price therefore fetched about 49 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €10,46 and €18,60, with a median of €14,74. 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 €6,94. Offers well below €4,16 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 €21,98 (10), French €15,99 (19), English €15,01 (127). German fetches about 46 % 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.
