Team Rocket's Nidoking ex

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $203.50, raw the card sits at $76.58 — 2.7× as much. Of 10.734 copies already graded, 59 % received a 10 and 28 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $164.14 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 347 auctions the median was $109.06, across 705 fixed-price sales $118.32. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $93.27 and $120.41, with a median of $105.32. 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 $83.58. Offers well below $50.15 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: French $199.96 (22), Italian $123.96 (30), German $112.69 (83). French fetches about 151 % 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.
