Raw (ungraded) value
£2.09
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 8.5 |
|---|---|
| CGC | £5.191 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.
Worth grading if it comes back 9 or better
The best case is Beckett (BGS) 10 at £108.27. The lowest grade that still comes out ahead is TAG 9, at £4.79.
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: £2.09. 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 | £2.09 |
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.
Figures are US dollars — the source currency, shown throughout rather than converted at display time.
