Espeon & Deoxys GX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £3,522, raw the card sits at £165.17 — 21.3× as much. Of 11.755 copies already graded, 8 % received a 10 and 46 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £471.61 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 147 auctions the median was £90.47, across 443 fixed-price sales £91.53. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £66.25 and £100.24, with a median of £80.72. 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 £50.44. Offers well below £30.26 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: German £110.34 (14), English £94.17 (724). German fetches about 17 % 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.
