A PSA 10 currently sells for about £114,116, raw the card sits at £11,132 — 10,3× as much. Of 1.532 copies already graded, 2 % received a 10 and 19 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £8,539 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 37 auctions the median was £103.03, across 84 fixed-price sales £133.35. Fixed price therefore fetched about 29 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £57.89 and £121.83, with a median of £78.71. 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 £43.37. Offers well below £26.02 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
