Ethan's Adventure

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £103.79, raw the card sits at £26.66 — 3,9× as much. Of 5.357 copies already graded, 44 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £65.15 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 225 auctions the median was £29.94, across 488 fixed-price sales £34.45. 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 £27.07 and £37.65, with a median of £30.95. 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 £23.80. Offers well below £14.28 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 £45.95 (20), German £31.56 (84), English £22.94 (712). French fetches about 100 % 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.
