Is it worth grading Basic Lightning Energy Scarlet & Violet 257/198?
A PSA 10 currently sells for about £44.36, raw the card sits at £3.02 — 14,7× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns £44.36 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.

Below which price is an offer for Basic Lightning Energy Scarlet & Violet 257/198 unrealistic?

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.
