Dragonite GX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £410.84, raw the card sits at £11.16 — 36.8× as much. Of 906 copies already graded, 48 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £223.09 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 52 auctions the median was £8.51, across 191 fixed-price sales £11.04. Fixed price therefore fetched about 30 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £7.27 and £13.10, with a median of £9.47. 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 £5.10. Offers well below £3.06 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: English £9.80 (264), German £4.28 (10). English fetches about 129 % more.

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.
