Acerola's Premonition

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £28.50, raw the card sits at £7.42 — 3.8× as much. Of 2.742 copies already graded, 51 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £20.10 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 16 auctions the median was £5.84, across 56 fixed-price sales £7.27. Fixed price therefore fetched about 25 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £6.32 and £8.09, with a median of £7.27. 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 £4.93. Offers well below £2.96 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: German £8.06 (14), English £6.69 (301). German 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.
