Dark Slowbro

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £1,338, raw the card sits at £199.22 — 6,7× as much. Of 849 copies already graded, 6 % received a 10 and 31 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £762.14 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 31 auctions the median was £24.32, across 48 fixed-price sales £29.06. Fixed price therefore fetched about 19 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £14.74 and £26.66, with a median of £19.77. 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 £11.78. Offers well below £7.07 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
