Dragonite EX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £484.01, raw the card sits at £4.18 — 115.7× as much. Of 802 copies already graded, 19 % received a 10 and 27 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £155.52 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 77 auctions the median was £2.88, across 220 fixed-price sales £5.06. Fixed price therefore fetched about 76 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £2.97 and £6.61, with a median of £4.40. 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 £2.11. Offers well below £1.27 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: Italian £4.63 (10), English £3.77 (440). Italian fetches about 23 % 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.
