Simisear VSTAR

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £129.94, raw the card sits at £24.88 — 5.2× as much. Of 6.425 copies already graded, 55 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £84.80 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 77 auctions the median was £21.22, across 359 fixed-price sales £26.14. Fixed price therefore fetched about 23 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £20.51 and £26.38, with a median of £23.70. 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 £17.51. Offers well below £10.51 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 £21.22 (18), English £20.37 (339), French £20.21 (11). 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.
