Tyranitar V

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £87.88, raw the card sits at £8.81 — 10.0× as much. Of 751 copies already graded, 62 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £64.41 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 35 auctions the median was £5.48, across 87 fixed-price sales £9.05. Fixed price therefore fetched about 65 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £6.95 and £9.69, with a median of £7.93. 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 £4.84. Offers well below £2.90 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 £10.28 (17), English £8.32 (147). Italian fetches about 24 % 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.
