Charizard VMAX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €306,93, raw the card sits at €167,04 — 1,8× as much. Of 33.291 copies already graded, 67 % received a 10 and 28 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €263,19 on average, before fees and shipping. So submitting only pays off if the card truly hits a 10 — at any lower grade little remains after fees. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 94 auctions the median was €273,37, across 150 fixed-price sales €241,99. Auctions therefore fetched about 13 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €111,58 and €171,14, with a median of €149,83. 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 €83,70. Offers well below €50,22 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.
