Shining Mew

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £1,169, raw the card sits at £157.85 — 7.4× as much. Of 11.909 copies already graded, 29 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £504.77 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 188 auctions the median was £134.48, across 389 fixed-price sales £132.23. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £78.26 and £127.38, with a median of £101.16. 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 £54.18. Offers well below £32.51 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 £119.96 (518), French £112.44 (15), German £59.07 (24). English fetches about 103 % more.

Last Sold 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.
