Dark Raticate

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £75.87, raw the card sits at £2.95 — 25.7× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns £75.87 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.

Across 50 auctions the median was £2.80, across 45 fixed-price sales £2.60. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £1.57 and £3.65, with a median of £2.39. 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 £1.12. Offers well below £0.67 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 £2.43 (16), English £2.39 (111). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
