A PSA 10 currently sells for about £165.44, raw the card sits at £44.17 — 3,7× as much. Of 11.039 copies already graded, 52 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £116.64 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 97 auctions the median was £62.07, across 350 fixed-price sales £57.19. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £43.83 and £58.74, with a median of £51.02. 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 £38.49. Offers well below £23.10 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 £88.37 (14), German £52.28 (12), English £45.65 (480). French fetches about 94 % 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.
