Gyarados EX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €797,91, raw the card sits at €15,56 — 51,3× as much. Of 854 copies already graded, 8 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €128,64 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 44 auctions the median was €9,06, across 107 fixed-price sales €12,82. Fixed price therefore fetched about 42 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €8,53 and €15,69, with a median of €10,99. 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 €5,20. Offers well below €3,12 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: Italian €12,94 (16), English €11,50 (129). Italian fetches about 13 % 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.
