Team Rocket's Orbeetle

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €83,28, raw the card sits at €4,64 — 17,9× as much. Of 2.235 copies already graded, 32 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €38,85 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 82 auctions the median was €3,32, across 285 fixed-price sales €4,72. 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 €3,49 and €5,22, with a median of €4,29. 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 €2,84. Offers well below €1,70 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: French €5,83 (36), Italian €4,27 (27), German €4,15 (36). French fetches about 52 % 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.
