Radiant Charizard

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €128,27, raw the card sits at €13,56 — 9,5× as much. Of 35.664 copies already graded, 54 % received a 10 and 39 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €82,64 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 263 auctions the median was €12,63, across 518 fixed-price sales €14,99. Fixed price therefore fetched about 19 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €11,22 and €15,69, with a median of €13,15. 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 €9,06. Offers well below €5,44 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: German €15,01 (75), Italian €14,61 (67), French €13,52 (108). German fetches about 24 % 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.
