A PSA 10 currently sells for about £481.30, raw the card sits at £257.95 — 1.9× as much. Of 10.681 copies already graded, 65 % received a 10 and 24 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £409.53 on average, before fees and shipping. So submitting only pays off if the card truly hits a 10 — at any lower grade little remains after fees. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 141 auctions the median was £268.32, across 223 fixed-price sales £290.00. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £186.77 and £266.78, with a median of £233.86. 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 £126.97. Offers well below £76.18 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: Italian £271.09 (22), English £221.52 (222), German £127.81 (10). Italian fetches about 112 % 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.
