Blastoise V

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €160,32, raw the card sits at €6,91 — 23,2× as much. Of 539 copies already graded, 48 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €109,25 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 23 auctions the median was €5,50, across 164 fixed-price sales €6,64. Fixed price therefore fetched about 21 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €5,05 and €8,25, with a median of €6,29. 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 €3,74. Offers well below €2,24 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 €8,47 (64), English €6,22 (121). Italian fetches about 36 % 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.
