Dragonite V

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €161,16, raw the card sits at €12,28 — 13,1× as much. Of 886 copies already graded, 31 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €77,83 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 10 auctions the median was €12,16, across 44 fixed-price sales €8,92. Auctions therefore fetched about 36 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €6,59 and €12,63, with a median of €8,32. 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 €5,50. Offers well below €3,30 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 €10,69 (11), English €7,42 (46). Italian fetches about 44 % 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.
