Frequently asked questions

Is it worth grading Empoleon Dark Explorers 29/108?

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £1,207, raw the card sits at £3.35 — 360,2× as much. Of 72 copies already graded, 12 % received a 10 and 39 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £214.22 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.

What will I get for Empoleon Dark Explorers 29/108 if I want to sell quickly?

Half of all sales fell between £1.85 and £4.36, with a median of £2.93. Selling fast lands you nearer the lower end; with patience, good photos and a complete title the upper end is achievable.

Below which price is an offer for Empoleon Dark Explorers 29/108 unrealistic?

The cheapest genuine sales were around £1.29. Offers well below £0.78 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

How does lastsold determine the market value?

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.
