Lugia EX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €597,67, raw the card sits at €16,07 — 37,2× as much. Of 438 copies already graded, 7 % received a 10 and 18 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €98,70 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 €5,82, across 148 fixed-price sales €6,87. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €4,82 and €9,53, with a median of €6,53. 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 €3,52. Offers well below €2,11 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: French €9,77 (13), Italian €7,47 (14), English €5,28 (152). French fetches about 85 % 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.
