Ash's Pikachu

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €1.117,86, raw the card sits at €41,55 — 26,9× as much. Of 1.208 copies already graded, 12 % received a 10 and 39 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €237,02 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.

Half of all sales fell between €23,62 and €39,99, with a median of €33,29. 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 €18,60. Offers well below €11,16 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.
