Charmander

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £70.34, raw the card sits at £16.09 — 4,4× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns £70.34 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.

Across 206 auctions the median was £27.21, across 375 fixed-price sales £30.03. Fixed price therefore fetched about 10 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £20.24 and £28.14, with a median of £23.33. 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 £16.98. Offers well below £10.19 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 £22.22 (40), Japanese £21.21 (601). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
