Pikachu & Zekrom GX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £166.75, raw the card sits at £19.46 — 8.6× as much. Of 16.889 copies already graded, 39 % received a 10 and 42 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £91.65 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 244 auctions the median was £33.13, across 313 fixed-price sales £31.71. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £21.58 and £29.99, with a median of £25.71. 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 £17.95. Offers well below £10.77 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: Italian £28.48 (10), English £18.68 (409). Italian fetches about 52 % 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.
