Infernape

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £111.61, raw the card sits at £13.40 — 8,3× as much. Of 8.089 copies already graded, 45 % received a 10 and 46 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £62.48 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 194 auctions the median was £9.37, across 568 fixed-price sales £10.99. Fixed price therefore fetched about 17 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £8.76 and £11.86, with a median of £10.20. 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 £7.30. Offers well below £4.38 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: French £17.01 (16), Italian £14.53 (20), German £11.01 (58). French fetches about 63 % 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.
