Charizard VMAX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €312,77, raw the card sits at €38,84 — 8,1× as much. Of 45.576 copies already graded, 22 % received a 10 and 54 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €123,50 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 115 auctions the median was €38,37, across 444 fixed-price sales €39,90. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €31,50 and €41,11, with a median of €35,34. 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 €28,83. Offers well below €17,30 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 €39,93 (78), English €35,34 (333), German €35,00 (41). Italian fetches about 14 % 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.
