A PSA 10 currently sells for about £1,193, raw the card sits at £25.66 — 46,5× as much. Of 2.941 copies already graded, 13 % received a 10 and 40 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £273.57 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 39 auctions the median was £25.94, across 51 fixed-price sales £23.75. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £8.16 and £25.96, with a median of £16.61. 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 £5.53. Offers well below £3.32 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: English £21.05 (54), French £20.70 (12). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
