Dark Electrode

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €190,65, raw the card sits at €5,60 — 34,0× as much. Of 2.145 copies already graded, 12 % received a 10 and 41 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €50,08 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 23 auctions the median was €4,00, across 40 fixed-price sales €4,99. Fixed price therefore fetched about 25 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €3,67 and €5,95, with a median of €4,50. 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 €2,62. Offers well below €1,57 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: French €5,13 (21), English €4,29 (41). French fetches about 20 % 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.
