Gyarados EX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €1.360,44, raw the card sits at €83,69 — 16,3× as much. Of 3.284 copies already graded, 18 % received a 10 and 39 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €423,68 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 92 auctions the median was €47,96, across 206 fixed-price sales €56,45. 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 €36,59 and €61,22, with a median of €47,96. 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 €26,74. Offers well below €16,04 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: Italian €63,71 (24), English €46,52 (197). Italian fetches about 37 % 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.
