A PSA 10 currently sells for about £309.49, raw the card sits at £1.69 — 182,9× as much. Of 1.470 copies already graded, 15 % received a 10 and 27 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £99.62 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 52 auctions the median was £2.55, across 188 fixed-price sales £2.70. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £1.70 and £3.61, with a median of £2.51. 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 £1.11. Offers well below £0.66 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: German £5.03 (48), French £3.01 (25), English £2.17 (248). German fetches about 132 % 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.
