Dark Flareon

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £624.55, raw the card sits at £14.72 — 42.4× as much. Of 4.022 copies already graded, 9 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £136.43 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 181 auctions the median was £13.05, across 232 fixed-price sales £13.22. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £8.63 and £14.65, with a median of £11.37. 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 £6.41. Offers well below £3.85 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 £14.12 (36), English £13.50 (369). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

Last Sold 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.
