Espeon EX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £1,464, raw the card sits at £50.20 — 29.2× as much. Of 3.137 copies already graded, 20 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £531.62 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 97 auctions the median was £50.51, across 241 fixed-price sales £57.27. Fixed price therefore fetched about 13 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £34.92 and £59.18, with a median of £45.94. 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 £23.47. Offers well below £14.08 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 £55.07 (11), English £45.66 (369). French fetches about 21 % 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.
