Espeon & Deoxys GX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £506.16, raw the card sits at £40.25 — 12,6× as much. Of 3.769 copies already graded, 38 % received a 10 and 42 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £236.49 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 105 auctions the median was £29.69, across 291 fixed-price sales £36.55. Fixed price therefore fetched about 23 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £24.19 and £40.17, with a median of £30.82. 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 £17.35. Offers well below £10.41 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 £36.36 (393), German £25.51 (21). English fetches about 43 % 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.
