Raw (ungraded) value
£10.05
The cheapest and dearest are the raw extremes of every matched eBay sale, with nothing filtered out — a damaged copy, a mispriced listing or a bundle sold as one lot all land in here. Judge the card by the median; the extremes are here so you can see how wide the spread was, not as a price to expect.
Completed eBay sales, per grading company and grade. These are prices somebody paid — a different kind of figure from the market values above, which is why they have their own table rather than sharing cells with them.
| Grader | Grade 10 | Grade 9.5 | Grade 9 |
|---|---|---|---|
| PSA | £498.331 sale · median | — | £28.522 sales · median |
| CGC | £29.646 sales · median | £8.521 sale · median | £3.301 sale · median |
A dash means PokemonPriceTracker recorded no sale in that box — not that the slab is worthless. “Median” is the middle sale of the ones it matched, which is the figure least distorted by a single odd result.
Market values from PriceCharting — what a slab in this grade is priced at, not what one has sold for. What copies actually sold for is in the section above.
PriceCharting publishes a single price at these three grades and doesn't say which grading company it came from, so we show it once instead of copying the same number under PSA, BGS, CGC and TAG. The 8–8.5 figure covers both grades. PSA doesn't award half grades, so a PSA 9.5 slab doesn't exist — we leave that gap open rather than filling it with another grader's number.
At grade 10 we can show what each grader's slab is worth, so the PSA, BGS and CGC figures above are each that grader's own value. Below 10 we can't: our price source gives one value for 9.5, 9 and 8–8.5 without saying which grader it belongs to. We show that single value once rather than repeating it under every grader's name — it is not a claim that every grader's slab sells for the same amount. The 8–8.5 figure covers both grades; it is not a price for a straight 8. PSA doesn't award half grades, so there is no such thing as a PSA 9.5, and we never borrow another grader's number to fill that gap. We have no value of our own for TAG, so we show the closest match we have. ACE isn't covered by this source and we never estimate it — its real sold prices are in the eBay sold-comps table further down.
Worth grading if it comes back 10 or better
Beckett (BGS) 10 is the only combination ahead, at £230.75.
For every grading company and grade we compare the graded market value against the all-in cost of getting there:
net = graded value − (raw price + grading cost)
Raw price used: £10.05. Every row below shows that figure, the fee and the graded value it was compared against, so no net appears without its working.
Grading costs are configurable estimates, not live quotes — actual fees vary by company, tier and turnaround. This is informational only and not financial advice.
| Grade & company | Raw price | Grading cost (est.) | Graded value | Net |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beckett (BGS) 10 | £10.05 | £14.82 |
What an ungraded copy has been priced at each day, from PokemonPriceTracker. This is the raw card, not a slab.
What a PSA 10 slab has been priced at, one reading a day. We started tracking at launch and never backfill, so this chart only ever grows forward.
Every figure here is in US dollars — the source currency. A pound conversion isn't stored for all of them, and we show one currency throughout rather than mix two or convert at display time and risk a wrong number.
