Lillie's Clefairy ex

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £45.08, raw the card sits at £5.22 — 8,6× as much. Of 8.077 copies already graded, 46 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £30.11 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 297 auctions the median was £5.43, across 834 fixed-price sales £6.70. Fixed price therefore fetched about 23 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £5.18 and £7.60, with a median of £6.18. 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 £4.35. Offers well below £2.61 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: French £6.80 (17), English £5.22 (1235), German £4.68 (112). French fetches about 45 % 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.
