A PSA 10 currently sells for about £312.25, raw the card sits at £37.85 — 8,3× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns £312.25 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.

Across 22 auctions the median was £14.37, across 77 fixed-price sales £10.30. Auctions therefore fetched about 40 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between £6.61 and £14.71, with a median of £8.86. 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 £4.35. Offers well below £2.61 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
