Giovanni's Nidoking

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €2.056,95, raw the card sits at €73,40 — 28,0× as much. Of 2.709 copies already graded, 6 % received a 10 and 28 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €314,87 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 77 auctions the median was €40,33, across 179 fixed-price sales €55,83. Fixed price therefore fetched about 38 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €28,58 and €62,80, with a median of €47,23. 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 €17,56. Offers well below €10,54 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 €46,10 (127), Japanese €19,95 (64). English fetches about 131 % 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.
