A PSA 10 currently sells for about £1,118, raw the card sits at £257.56 — 4,3× as much. Of 102.630 copies already graded, 29 % received a 10 and 48 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £525.01 on average, before fees and shipping. Rule of thumb: submit when the value at a realistic grade is at least double the raw value — which is the case here. Centering decides it: an off-centre card will not get a 10. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 656 auctions the median was £296.71, across 1017 fixed-price sales £299.86. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £252.87 and £305.34, with a median of £278.08. 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 £220.24. Offers well below £132.14 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: French £339.38 (44), English £238.62 (1736), Italian £229.65 (28). French fetches about 58 % 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.
