Mega Charizard Y ex

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £45.43, raw the card sits at £4.56 — 10.0× as much. Of 4.699 copies already graded, 70 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £38.18 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 391 auctions the median was £5.94, across 945 fixed-price sales £6.67. Fixed price therefore fetched about 12 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £5.13 and £8.03, with a median of £6.40. 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 £4.15. Offers well below £2.49 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: Italian £7.23 (58), French £6.35 (46), German £5.92 (111). Italian fetches about 45 % 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.
