Team Rocket's Nidoking ex

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £156.44, raw the card sits at £63.09 — 2.5× as much. Of 13.116 copies already graded, 59 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £124.78 on average, before fees and shipping. So submitting only pays off if the card truly hits a 10 — at any lower grade little remains after fees. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 350 auctions the median was £82.03, across 706 fixed-price sales £89.00. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £71.19 and £91.09, with a median of £79.92. 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 £63.33. Offers well below £38.00 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 £147.25 (22), Italian £93.15 (30), German £88.58 (84). French fetches about 114 % 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.
