Misty's Determination

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £232.28, raw the card sits at £27.95 — 8.3× as much. Of 8.869 copies already graded, 27 % received a 10 and 48 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £94.33 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 234 auctions the median was £19.25, across 506 fixed-price sales £23.16. Fixed price therefore fetched about 20 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £15.97 and £25.78, with a median of £19.93. 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 £13.40. Offers well below £8.04 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 £22.39 (882), German £15.94 (10). English fetches about 41 % 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.
