Lugia EX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £3,754, raw the card sits at £185.24 — 20,3× as much. Of 3.381 copies already graded, 15 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £1,120 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 114 auctions the median was £131.86, across 269 fixed-price sales £139.17. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £72.18 and £148.79, with a median of £105.12. 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 £49.88. Offers well below £29.93 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.
