Venusaur EX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £192.32, raw the card sits at £3.32 — 58,0× as much. Of 469 copies already graded, 23 % received a 10 and 27 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £79.10 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 10 auctions the median was £3.16, across 37 fixed-price sales £2.39. Auctions therefore fetched about 32 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between £2.02 and £3.68, with a median of £2.72. 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 £1.09. Offers well below £0.65 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
