Dark Electrode

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £161.82, raw the card sits at £4.80 — 33.7× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns £161.82 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.

Across 23 auctions the median was £3.40, across 40 fixed-price sales £4.24. Fixed price therefore fetched about 25 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £3.12 and £5.05, with a median of £3.82. 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 £2.22. Offers well below £1.33 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 £4.62 (66), German £4.24 (14). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
