Red & Blue

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £411.19, raw the card sits at £141.25 — 2,9× as much. Of 2.670 copies already graded, 47 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £290.00 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 36 auctions the median was £187.67, across 93 fixed-price sales £168.09. Auctions therefore fetched about 12 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between £103.82 and £158.73, with a median of £131.04. 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 £77.86. Offers well below £46.72 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 £176.85 (11), English £134.92 (98). Italian fetches about 31 % 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.
