Pidgeot EX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $127.06, raw the card sits at $9.36 — 13,6× as much. Of 4.389 copies already graded, 26 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $54.51 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 136 auctions the median was $8.62, across 366 fixed-price sales $10.59. Fixed price therefore fetched about 23 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $7.24 and $12.92, with a median of $9.71. 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 $4.89. Offers well below $2.94 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 $12.47 (10), English $8.36 (563). German fetches about 49 % 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.
