Team Rocket's Nidoking ex

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £157.21, raw the card sits at £70.84 — 2,2× as much. Of 10.734 copies already graded, 59 % received a 10 and 28 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £127.03 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 337 auctions the median was £82.47, across 711 fixed-price sales £89.28. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £70.84 and £90.86, with a median of £79.57. 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 £63.95. Offers well below £38.37 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 £150.89 (23), Italian £93.54 (30), German £85.03 (90). French fetches about 120 % 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.
