Gyarados EX

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €3.334,78, raw the card sits at €165,42 — 20,2× as much. Of 9.982 copies already graded, 16 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €981,69 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 213 auctions the median was €114,03, across 515 fixed-price sales €148,97. Fixed price therefore fetched about 31 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between €87,37 and €153,75, with a median of €117,92. 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 €61,96. Offers well below €37,18 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 €113,69 (680), German €99,09 (20), French €73,48 (11). English fetches about 55 % 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.
