Dark Charmeleon

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €1.573,64, raw the card sits at €10,16 — 154,9× as much. Of 2.297 copies already graded, 5 % received a 10 and 20 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €286,67 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 187 auctions the median was €4,82, across 372 fixed-price sales €6,14. Fixed price therefore fetched about 27 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €3,95 and €11,86, with a median of €5,65. 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 €2,52. Offers well below €1,51 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: German €10,40 (37), Japanese €5,26 (13), English €4,82 (467). German fetches about 116 % 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.
