Shining Steelix

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €2.282,15, raw the card sits at €535,51 — 4,3× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns €2.282,15 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.

Across 91 auctions the median was €285,09, across 121 fixed-price sales €341,43. Fixed price therefore fetched about 20 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €173,54 and €314,71, with a median of €239,00. 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 €131,00. Offers well below €78,60 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: English €316,39 (131), German €270,31 (10). English fetches about 17 % 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.
