A PSA 10 currently sells for about £1,186, raw the card sits at £760.40 — 1,6× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns £1,186 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.

Across 102 auctions the median was £293.12, across 175 fixed-price sales £467.68. Fixed price therefore fetched about 60 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £170.07 and £442.34, with a median of £288.31. 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 £111.13. Offers well below £66.68 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 £586.35 (12), English £355.33 (191), Italian £311.64 (12). German fetches about 88 % 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.
