Charizard & Braixen GX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $205.26, raw the card sits at $38.24 — 5,4× as much. Of 14.052 copies already graded, 43 % received a 10 and 39 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $122.78 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 200 auctions the median was $34.70, across 491 fixed-price sales $39.13. Fixed price therefore fetched about 13 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $27.41 and $40.24, with a median of $33.35. 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 $20.77. Offers well below $12.46 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 $32.16 (35), English $29.39 (612). 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.
