Dragonite EX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $484.21, raw the card sits at $38.72 — 12,5× as much. Of 15.469 copies already graded, 27 % received a 10 and 44 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $201.56 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 171 auctions the median was $42.65, across 436 fixed-price sales $47.99. Fixed price therefore fetched about 12 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $28.92 and $48.36, with a median of $38.38. 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 $19.68. Offers well below $11.81 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 $50.51 (17), Italian $38.39 (28), English $33.67 (586). German fetches about 50 % 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.
