Light Dragonair

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €981,09, raw the card sits at €68,70 — 14,3× as much. Of 493 copies already graded, 26 % received a 10 and 46 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €395,94 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 19 auctions the median was €70,93, across 26 fixed-price sales €73,00. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €47,31 and €83,63, with a median of €69,88. 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 €31,86. Offers well below €19,12 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.
