Giovanni's Persian

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £5,640, raw the card sits at £33.36 — 169,1× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns £5,640 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.

Across 184 auctions the median was £26.68, across 387 fixed-price sales £32.01. 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 £18.28 and £36.34, with a median of £25.98. 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 £14.18. Offers well below £8.51 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 £25.92 (513), Japanese £15.33 (88). English fetches about 69 % 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.
