Armored Mewtwo

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £9,663, raw the card sits at £267.73 — 36,1× as much. Of 6.972 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £1,239 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 157 auctions the median was £112.54, across 435 fixed-price sales £149.19. Fixed price therefore fetched about 33 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £74.57 and £158.16, with a median of £111.83. 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 £52.00. Offers well below £31.20 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 £134.21 (620), Japanese £103.81 (13). English fetches about 29 % 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.
