Special Delivery Bidoof

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £2,412, raw the card sits at £578.06 — 4,2× as much. Of 5.057 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 55 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £898.78 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 23 auctions the median was £493.70, across 52 fixed-price sales £580.89. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £434.94 and £597.14, with a median of £530.21. 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 £381.58. Offers well below £228.95 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.
