Light Jolteon

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £723.64, raw the card sits at £66.07 — 11,0× as much. Of 989 copies already graded, 10 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £204.05 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 92 auctions the median was £35.34, across 257 fixed-price sales £40.99. Fixed price therefore fetched about 16 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £30.24 and £46.73, with a median of £39.19. 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 £21.95. Offers well below £13.17 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: Japanese £43.73 (40), English £38.26 (443), French £26.23 (14). Japanese fetches about 157 % 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.
