Hoopa V

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £71.05, raw the card sits at £11.18 — 6,4× as much. Of 3.354 copies already graded, 66 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £53.77 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 62 auctions the median was £9.78, across 401 fixed-price sales £10.82. Fixed price therefore fetched about 11 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £8.70 and £11.31, with a median of £9.87. 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 £7.30. Offers well below £4.38 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: Italian £11.03 (17), English £10.02 (508), German £9.34 (20). Italian fetches about 18 % 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.
