Slowpoke & Psyduck GX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £656.57, raw the card sits at £124.96 — 5.3× as much. Of 4.577 copies already graded, 38 % received a 10 and 42 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £344.47 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 127 auctions the median was £74.14, across 350 fixed-price sales £84.29. Fixed price therefore fetched about 14 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £58.30 and £91.89, with a median of £74.15. 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 £43.32. Offers well below £25.99 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 £94.51 (463), Italian £93.74 (16), German £50.82 (16). English fetches about 86 % 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.
