Ho-oh

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £34,469, raw the card sits at £254.30 — 135,5× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns £34,469 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.

Across 114 auctions the median was £117.06, across 290 fixed-price sales £163.37. 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 £82.91 and £175.23, with a median of £121.78. 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 £55.99. Offers well below £33.59 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 £148.55 (335), German £106.88 (30). English fetches about 39 % 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.
