Ho-Oh

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €1.116,00, raw the card sits at €35,63 — 31,3× as much. Of 654 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 22 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €248,80 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 31 auctions the median was €10,00, across 68 fixed-price sales €11,73. Fixed price therefore fetched about 17 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €5,22 and €20,93, with a median of €10,35. 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 €3,59. Offers well below €2,15 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 €19,43 (26), English €18,80 (76), German €10,91 (15). French fetches about 78 % 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.
