Gardevoir

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £1,469, raw the card sits at £119.65 — 12,3× as much. Of 455 copies already graded, 10 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £482.11 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 41 auctions the median was £18.99, across 64 fixed-price sales £26.72. Fixed price therefore fetched about 41 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £14.87 and £32.87, with a median of £22.32. 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 £10.63. Offers well below £6.38 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: English £21.67 (141), German £11.38 (10). English 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.
