Radiant Charizard

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £96.37, raw the card sits at £10.56 — 9,1× as much. Of 36.131 copies already graded, 54 % received a 10 and 39 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £63.21 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 354 auctions the median was £10.63, across 919 fixed-price sales £11.46. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £9.17 and £12.75, with a median of £10.64. 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 £7.44. Offers well below £4.46 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: French £12.24 (44), Italian £11.90 (12), German £11.60 (114). French fetches about 43 % 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.
