Single Strike Urshifu VMAX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £32.30, raw the card sits at £4.71 — 6.9× as much. Of 2.472 copies already graded, 66 % received a 10 and 24 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £26.58 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 45 auctions the median was £2.97, across 181 fixed-price sales £3.45. Fixed price therefore fetched about 16 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £2.94 and £4.36, with a median of £3.53. 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 £2.39. Offers well below £1.44 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 £3.53 (17), English £3.28 (346). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
