Frequently asked questions

Is it worth grading Piplup Phantasmal Flames 098/94?

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £110.50, raw the card sits at £11.58 — 9.5× as much. Of 20.041 copies already graded, 50 % received a 10 and 39 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £67.12 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.

Auction or Buy It Now — which gets more for Piplup Phantasmal Flames 098/94?

Across 336 auctions the median was £11.49, across 770 fixed-price sales £12.96. Fixed price therefore fetched about 13 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

What will I get for Piplup Phantasmal Flames 098/94 if I want to sell quickly?

Half of all sales fell between £9.73 and £13.89, with a median of £11.80. Selling fast lands you nearer the lower end; with patience, good photos and a complete title the upper end is achievable.

Below which price is an offer for Piplup Phantasmal Flames 098/94 unrealistic?

The cheapest genuine sales were around £7.61. Offers well below £4.57 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

Is the English or the German Piplup Phantasmal Flames 098/94 worth more?

From real sales: English £11.62 (739), French £10.96 (72), Italian £9.23 (20). English fetches about 62 % more.

How does lastsold determine the market value?

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.
