Gardevoir EX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £3,673, raw the card sits at £51.21 — 71,7× as much. Of 739 copies already graded, 2 % received a 10 and 15 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £227.27 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 28 auctions the median was £51.87, across 89 fixed-price sales £39.81. Auctions therefore fetched about 30 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between £29.75 and £51.21, with a median of £39.81. 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 £22.34. Offers well below £13.40 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: German £59.52 (19), English £36.76 (157), French £33.08 (19). German fetches about 80 % 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.
