Shining Tyranitar

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €18.535,32, raw the card sits at €1.895,18 — 9,8× as much. Of 1.122 copies already graded, 18 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €7.938,40 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 28 auctions the median was €3.564,07, across 23 fixed-price sales €2.337,44. Auctions therefore fetched about 52 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €839,50 and €2.065,50, with a median of €1.043,93. 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 €432,71. Offers well below €259,63 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
