Deoxys VSTAR

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £145.67, raw the card sits at £37.00 — 3,9× as much. Of 11.176 copies already graded, 55 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £100.89 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 133 auctions the median was £40.39, across 496 fixed-price sales £40.27. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £32.53 and £43.49, with a median of £37.13. 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 £27.36. Offers well below £16.41 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: French £89.00 (14), Italian £47.70 (15), English £36.84 (571). French fetches about 168 % 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.
