A PSA 10 currently sells for about £172.63, raw the card sits at £79.80 — 2,2× as much. Of 19.211 copies already graded, 60 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £132.35 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 234 auctions the median was £76.14, across 614 fixed-price sales £80.78. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £65.61 and £82.96, with a median of £73.27. 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 £56.50. Offers well below £33.90 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: French £137.69 (24), German £85.03 (36), Italian £80.00 (37). French fetches about 73 % 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.
