A PSA 10 currently sells for about £286.80, raw the card sits at £115.82 — 2,5× as much. Of 423 copies already graded, 42 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £188.66 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 25 auctions the median was £51.40, across 55 fixed-price sales £74.42. Fixed price therefore fetched about 45 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £41.77 and £79.10, with a median of £59.30. 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 £25.37. Offers well below £15.22 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.
