Dragonite V

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €198,56, raw the card sits at €26,75 — 7,4× as much. Of 2.119 copies already graded, 44 % received a 10 and 41 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €118,61 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 60 auctions the median was €22,40, across 160 fixed-price sales €29,73. Fixed price therefore fetched about 33 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €21,91 and €31,42, with a median of €26,18. 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 €17,45. Offers well below €10,47 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 €31,19 (23), English €25,98 (135). Italian fetches about 20 % 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.
