Gyarados EX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €666,56, raw the card sits at €21,86 — 30,5× as much. Of 1.512 copies already graded, 22 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €255,77 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 34 auctions the median was €23,70, across 141 fixed-price sales €13,85. Auctions therefore fetched about 71 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €9,29 and €17,57, with a median of €12,80. 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 €6,69. Offers well below €4,01 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.
