Dark Vaporeon

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $794.07, raw the card sits at $19.67 — 40.4× as much. Of 3.159 copies already graded, 11 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $188.56 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 77 auctions the median was $20.68, across 156 fixed-price sales $19.50. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $13.60 and $21.80, with a median of $17.33. 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 $9.62. Offers well below $5.77 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: English $18.81 (184), German $17.33 (31). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
