Rocket's Mewtwo

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £3,567, raw the card sits at £352.34 — 10,1× as much. Of 4.985 copies already graded, 2 % received a 10 and 20 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £609.76 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 121 auctions the median was £113.64, across 289 fixed-price sales £158.74. Fixed price therefore fetched about 40 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £87.70 and £178.57, with a median of £131.59. 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 £57.85. Offers well below £34.71 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 £157.97 (413), Japanese £114.59 (48). English fetches about 38 % 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.
