Charmander

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £187.18, raw the card sits at £31.17 — 6.0× as much. Of 4.077 copies already graded, 45 % received a 10 and 46 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £103.53 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 185 auctions the median was £31.48, across 329 fixed-price sales £33.09. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £24.27 and £36.58, with a median of £30.04. 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 £19.26. Offers well below £11.56 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 £29.96 (385), French £29.28 (10), German £20.52 (22). English fetches about 46 % more.

Last Sold 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.
