Light Vaporeon

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €260,73, raw the card sits at €19,64 — 13,3× as much. Of 736 copies already graded, 13 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €95,60 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 91 auctions the median was €15,38, across 135 fixed-price sales €17,53. Fixed price therefore fetched about 14 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €14,87 and €24,47, with a median of €18,63. 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 €11,15. Offers well below €6,69 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: Japanese €23,24 (22), English €17,47 (171), German €13,14 (13). Japanese fetches about 77 % 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.
