A PSA 10 currently sells for about £839.89, raw the card sits at £25.98 — 32,3× as much. Of 2.903 copies already graded, 14 % received a 10 and 40 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £223.54 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 44 auctions the median was £27.21, across 42 fixed-price sales £24.97. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £11.27 and £25.96, with a median of £16.70. 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 £6.64. Offers well below £3.98 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 £27.81 (12), English £19.46 (49). French fetches about 43 % 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.
