Frequently asked questions

Is it worth grading Moltres Brilliant Stars 021/172?

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £120.02, raw the card sits at £1.15 — 104,6× as much. Of 292 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 49 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £56.40 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.

Auction or Buy It Now — which gets more for Moltres Brilliant Stars 021/172?

Across 15 auctions the median was £0.93, across 64 fixed-price sales £1.71. Fixed price therefore fetched about 84 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

What will I get for Moltres Brilliant Stars 021/172 if I want to sell quickly?

Half of all sales fell between £1.23 and £1.92, with a median of £1.59. 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 Moltres Brilliant Stars 021/172 unrealistic?

The cheapest genuine sales were around £0.85. Offers well below £0.51 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
