Iron Valiant ex

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £107.91, raw the card sits at £17.53 — 6.2× as much. Of 5.855 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 51 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £55.17 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 125 auctions the median was £16.91, across 290 fixed-price sales £20.24. Fixed price therefore fetched about 20 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £15.59 and £21.61, with a median of £17.90. 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 £13.75. Offers well below £8.25 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 £17.01 (441), German £16.52 (37). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
