Galarian Articuno V

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £190.52, raw the card sits at £50.00 — 3,8× as much. Of 6.288 copies already graded, 52 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £126.90 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 88 auctions the median was £40.35, across 243 fixed-price sales £55.34. Fixed price therefore fetched about 37 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £40.04 and £55.27, with a median of £48.36. 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 £33.81. Offers well below £20.29 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: English £45.99 (325), German £34.64 (14). English fetches about 33 % 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.
