Frequently asked questions

Is it worth grading Dark Ariados Team Rocket Returns 30/109?

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £208.55, raw the card sits at £45.99 — 4,5× as much. Of 176 copies already graded, 34 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £120.63 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.

Auction or Buy It Now — which gets more for Dark Ariados Team Rocket Returns 30/109?

Across 15 auctions the median was £5.10, across 38 fixed-price sales £3.66. Auctions therefore fetched about 40 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

What will I get for Dark Ariados Team Rocket Returns 30/109 if I want to sell quickly?

Half of all sales fell between £1.77 and £4.44, with a median of £2.67. Selling fast lands you nearer the lower end; with patience, good photos and a complete title the upper end is achievable.

Below which price is an offer for Dark Ariados Team Rocket Returns 30/109 unrealistic?

The cheapest genuine sales were around £1.19. Offers well below £0.71 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

How does lastsold determine the market value?

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.
