A PSA 10 currently sells for about £1,019, raw the card sits at £88.49 — 11,5× as much. Of 5.435 copies already graded, 3 % received a 10 and 19 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £172.96 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 224 auctions the median was £38.57, across 380 fixed-price sales £42.99. Fixed price therefore fetched about 11 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £24.62 and £46.93, with a median of £33.65. 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 £15.93. Offers well below £9.56 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 £38.65 (663), Japanese £22.07 (123). English fetches about 75 % 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.
