Rayquaza EX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £1,303, raw the card sits at £35.42 — 36,8× as much. Of 2.076 copies already graded, 18 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £387.98 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 158 auctions the median was £15.98, across 356 fixed-price sales £21.08. Fixed price therefore fetched about 32 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £11.56 and £25.45, with a median of £17.50. 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 £7.96. Offers well below £4.78 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 £20.16 (628), Italian £17.44 (15). English fetches about 16 % 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.
