Charmander

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €183,05, raw the card sits at €10,35 — 17,7× as much. Of 3.964 copies already graded, 26 % received a 10 and 46 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €60,99 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 48 auctions the median was €31,37, across 117 fixed-price sales €20,91. Auctions therefore fetched about 50 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €1,63 and €41,96, with a median of €3,00. 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 €1,00. Offers well below €0,60 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 €2,99 (148), Italian €2,00 (25). English fetches about 50 % 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.
