Iron Valiant ex

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £109.97, raw the card sits at £15.92 — 6,9× as much. Of 6.286 copies already graded, 39 % received a 10 and 49 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £58.29 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 121 auctions the median was £16.99, across 300 fixed-price sales £19.97. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £15.40 and £21.56, with a median of £17.86. 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 £14.03. Offers well below £8.42 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 £16.00 (451), German £12.85 (34). English fetches about 25 % 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.
