Dark Porygon2

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £2,359, raw the card sits at £61.96 — 38,1× as much. Of 954 copies already graded, 5 % received a 10 and 24 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £314.43 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 50 auctions the median was £31.26, across 116 fixed-price sales £50.19. Fixed price therefore fetched about 61 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £24.85 and £56.76, with a median of £41.10. 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 £16.58. Offers well below £9.95 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 £50.10 (152), German £42.63 (14), Japanese £25.07 (19). English fetches about 100 % 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.
