Flareon GX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £234.74, raw the card sits at £10.39 — 22,6× as much. Of 796 copies already graded, 27 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £86.75 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 27 auctions the median was £8.09, across 166 fixed-price sales £8.77. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £6.67 and £10.31, with a median of £8.21. 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 £5.16. Offers well below £3.10 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 £9.52 (12), English £8.44 (252). Italian fetches about 13 % 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.
