Dragonite GX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £385.21, raw the card sits at £62.17 — 6.2× as much. Of 2.436 copies already graded, 40 % received a 10 and 39 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £211.56 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 23 auctions the median was £55.77, across 107 fixed-price sales £62.89. Fixed price therefore fetched about 13 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £39.51 and £61.50, with a median of £51.71. 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 £29.70. Offers well below £17.82 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 £64.28 (13), English £52.90 (122). Italian fetches about 22 % 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.
