Is it worth grading Energy Retrieval Ancient Origins 99/98?
A PSA 10 currently sells for about £104.21, raw the card sits at £16.08 — 6.5× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns £104.21 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.

Half of all sales fell between £8.69 and £14.85, with a median of £11.08. Selling fast lands you nearer the lower end; with patience, good photos and a complete title the upper end is achievable.
Below which price is an offer for Energy Retrieval Ancient Origins 99/98 unrealistic?

How does lastsold determine the market value?
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.
