Charizard & Braixen GX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £155.21, raw the card sits at £28.43 — 5.5× as much. Of 12.920 copies already graded, 46 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £98.06 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 200 auctions the median was £26.24, across 491 fixed-price sales £29.59. Fixed price therefore fetched about 13 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £20.73 and £30.43, with a median of £25.22. 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 £15.70. Offers well below £9.42 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 £24.32 (35), English £22.22 (612). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
