Shining Mew

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £1,294, raw the card sits at £141.00 — 9.2× as much. Of 11.872 copies already graded, 29 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £541.12 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.

Across 167 auctions the median was £126.46, across 346 fixed-price sales £132.31. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £77.87 and £126.69, with a median of £99.17. 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 £54.23. Offers well below £32.54 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: French £112.54 (15), English £99.79 (493), German £59.54 (23). French fetches about 89 % 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.
