Arceus & Dialga & Palkia GX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £182.57, raw the card sits at £23.87 — 7,6× as much. Of 6.426 copies already graded, 40 % received a 10 and 39 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £98.71 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 157 auctions the median was £16.67, across 411 fixed-price sales £19.13. Fixed price therefore fetched about 15 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £14.61 and £21.91, with a median of £17.64. 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 £11.90. Offers well below £7.14 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 £19.63 (18), English £18.64 (564), Italian £18.06 (20). 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.
