Charizard EX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $165.02, raw the card sits at $16.23 — 10,2× as much. Of 15.901 copies already graded, 30 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $80.22 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 326 auctions the median was $15.09, across 519 fixed-price sales $15.88. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $9.98 and $17.16, with a median of $13.72. 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 $6.77. Offers well below $4.06 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 $23.72 (17), German $22.78 (17), English $14.76 (736). Italian fetches about 61 % 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.
