Dragonite VSTAR

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €103,74, raw the card sits at €5,87 — 17,7× as much. Of 1.234 copies already graded, 54 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €69,97 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 25 auctions the median was €3,50, across 163 fixed-price sales €6,00. Fixed price therefore fetched about 71 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €4,09 and €6,40, with a median of €5,04. 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 €3,20. Offers well below €1,92 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 €5,68 (22), German €5,66 (11), English €4,83 (182). Italian fetches about 18 % 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.
