A PSA 10 currently sells for about £537.54, raw the card sits at £386.07 — 1,4× as much. Of 9.963 copies already graded, 50 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £329.45 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 100 auctions the median was £90.60, across 336 fixed-price sales £81.71. Auctions therefore fetched about 11 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between £50.82 and £80.33, with a median of £63.51. 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 £37.10. Offers well below £22.26 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 £84.38 (374), Japanese £52.08 (60). English fetches about 62 % 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.
