Dragonite EX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £366.15, raw the card sits at £25.58 — 14.3× as much. Of 15.469 copies already graded, 27 % received a 10 and 44 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £152.41 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 £32.25, across 436 fixed-price sales £36.29. 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 £21.87 and £36.57, with a median of £29.02. 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 £14.88. Offers well below £8.93 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 £38.20 (16), Italian £29.03 (28), English £25.46 (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.
