Black Kyurem

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £14,958, raw the card sits at £34.17 — 437,8× as much. Of 932 copies already graded, 1 % received a 10 and 14 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £486.22 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 35 auctions the median was £18.28, across 122 fixed-price sales £29.00. Fixed price therefore fetched about 59 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £15.81 and £31.61, with a median of £22.07. 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 £11.48. Offers well below £6.89 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.
