Dark Houndoom

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €3.080,02, raw the card sits at €121,04 — 25,4× as much. Of 1.453 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 21 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €399,97 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 59 auctions the median was €82,00, across 132 fixed-price sales €102,12. Fixed price therefore fetched about 25 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €51,25 and €115,00, with a median of €76,43. 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 €38,65. Offers well below €23,19 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 €102,40 (175), Japanese €50,93 (43), German €49,25 (12). English fetches about 108 % 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.
