Ho-oh

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €11.456,60, raw the card sits at €911,58 — 12,6× as much. Of 276 copies already graded, 9 % received a 10 and 22 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €2.367,40 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 50 auctions the median was €701,11, across 39 fixed-price sales €568,15. Auctions therefore fetched about 23 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €216,65 and €499,99, with a median of €350,89. 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 €130,30. Offers well below €78,18 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.
