Flying Pikachu

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €325,96, raw the card sits at €8,40 — 38,8× as much. Of 10.883 copies already graded, 29 % received a 10 and 47 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €134,18 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 130 auctions the median was €8,50, across 288 fixed-price sales €9,32. Fixed price therefore fetched about 10 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €5,69 and €10,40, with a median of €7,83. 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 €3,98. Offers well below €2,39 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 €11,03 (11), Italian €10,58 (23), English €7,45 (292). French fetches about 48 % 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.
