Erika's Invitation

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £74.15, raw the card sits at £13.78 — 5,4× as much. Of 18.403 copies already graded, 30 % received a 10 and 51 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £32.92 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 285 auctions the median was £14.74, across 575 fixed-price sales £17.81. Fixed price therefore fetched about 21 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £12.61 and £18.19, with a median of £14.91. 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 £10.71. Offers well below £6.42 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 £23.83 (67), Italian £17.43 (22), French £15.70 (19). German fetches about 89 % 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.
