Giratina V

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £147.69, raw the card sits at £12.55 — 11,8× as much. Of 3.064 copies already graded, 53 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £92.88 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 60 auctions the median was £10.33, across 210 fixed-price sales £14.67. Fixed price therefore fetched about 42 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £10.94 and £15.13, with a median of £13.27. 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 £8.49. Offers well below £5.10 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 £13.17 (297), Italian £9.62 (11), German £9.35 (22). English fetches about 41 % 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.
