Charizard GX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £1,472, raw the card sits at £22.06 — 66,8× as much. Of 6.142 copies already graded, 15 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £355.30 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 36 auctions the median was £18.28, across 128 fixed-price sales £21.98. Fixed price therefore fetched about 20 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £13.16 and £26.01, with a median of £19.06. 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 £9.17. Offers well below £5.50 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 £28.92 (19), Italian £28.62 (12), English £17.08 (197). German fetches about 69 % 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.
