Iris's Fighting Spirit

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £85.14, raw the card sits at £15.49 — 5.5× as much. Of 312 copies already graded, 65 % received a 10 and 25 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £63.46 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 167 auctions the median was £24.10, across 461 fixed-price sales £28.14. 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 £23.15 and £31.59, with a median of £26.59. 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 £19.69. Offers well below £11.82 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 £21.74 (31), English £21.21 (791), German £18.67 (55). French fetches about 16 % 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.
