Raw (ungraded) value
£0.42
Market values from PriceCharting — what a slab in this grade is priced at, not what one has sold for.
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 9 or better
The best case is Beckett (BGS) 10 at £38.10. The lowest grade that still comes out ahead is TAG 9, at £15.13.
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: £0.42. 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 | £0.42 |
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.
