Shaymin

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £71.19, raw the card sits at £7.47 — 9,5× as much. Of 3.849 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 51 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £35.71 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 270 auctions the median was £7.05, across 628 fixed-price sales £8.97. Fixed price therefore fetched about 27 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £7.08 and £10.00, with a median of £8.19. 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 £5.56. Offers well below £3.34 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 £8.19 (33), English £7.46 (1074), French £6.45 (24). Italian fetches about 91 % 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.
