Chandelure

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £275.19, raw the card sits at £50.78 — 5,4× as much. Of 1.018 copies already graded, 30 % received a 10 and 58 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £118.56 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 74 auctions the median was £35.68, across 255 fixed-price sales £42.03. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £33.81 and £48.81, with a median of £41.53. 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 £28.29. Offers well below £16.97 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 £46.29 (349), German £27.70 (14). English fetches about 67 % 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.
