Shining Gyarados

A PSA 10 currently sells for about €23.380,69, raw the card sits at €1.082,14 — 21,6× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns €23.380,69 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.

Across 273 auctions the median was €804,68, across 331 fixed-price sales €787,67. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between €393,70 and €820,25, with a median of €568,43. 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 €303,84. Offers well below €182,30 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 €617,62 (324), German €614,52 (24). 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.
