A PSA 10 currently sells for about £2,527, raw the card sits at £242.61 — 10,4× as much. Of 588 copies already graded, 7 % received a 10 and 23 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £384.49 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 84 auctions the median was £10.32, across 231 fixed-price sales £11.18. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £5.29 and £15.53, with a median of £9.23. 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 £3.88. Offers well below £2.33 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: English £9.48 (530), German £8.44 (34). English fetches about 12 % 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.
