You won’t be able to get one of the higher grades for even close to the price you’re offering, but $400 USD puts you close to being able to acquire a PSA 5 Charizard.
Here’s a rough price guide for what you can expect to pay based on eBay sold listings:
PSA 5: $450-600
PSA 6: $600-700
PSA 7: $700-900
PSA 8: $900-1300
PSA 9: $1500-2200
PSA 10: ?? (Hard to define right now; the last two sold for an average of $10,400)
Yes, $1500 for a PSA 9 would be a great deal, if for no other reason than the fact that it would be easy to sell one for several hundred dollars more (Not to mention having a Mint copy of the most iconic Pokemon card ever!).
I’d say those prices are pretty spot on, been trying to get an 8/9 my self at the 900/1500 mark in GBP the last few months to no avail. They’ve just quite a bit to say the last since May this year even.
For what it’s worth last week I sold a PSA 7 for 1000.00usd and today sold another 7 yesterday for 929.00.
My advice is if you have these, hold on to them. If you want one, get it now. Pretty simple.
Lol…
Yes I have a bunch of them graded and many that deserve 7s. Those I will sell and hope others make some money. They aren’t part of my personal collection. Now my 10s? Never for sale;)
