Dark Dragonite

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £11,352, raw the card sits at £358.80 — 31.6× as much. Of 9.196 copies already graded, 2 % received a 10 and 25 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £1,354 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 190 auctions the median was £457.26, across 188 fixed-price sales £422.03. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £204.58 and £354.73, with a median of £264.30. 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 £121.52. Offers well below £72.91 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
