Koga's Beedrill

A PSA 10 currently sells for about $2,959, raw the card sits at $39.42 — 75,1× as much. Of 3.135 copies already graded, 2 % received a 10 and 19 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $230.15 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 159 auctions the median was $22.90, across 366 fixed-price sales $23.46. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between $15.18 and $28.90, with a median of $20.16. 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 $10.64. Offers well below $6.38 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: English $28.35 (477), Japanese $14.45 (92). English fetches about 96 % 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.
