A PSA 10 currently sells for about £259.48, raw the card sits at £15.09 — 17.2× as much. Of 7.880 copies already graded, 24 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £84.83 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 312 auctions the median was £15.15, across 915 fixed-price sales £14.99. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £13.79 and £17.37, with a median of £14.77. 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 £11.46. Offers well below £6.88 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 £16.88 (83), Italian £16.73 (11), English £15.37 (1174). German fetches about 17 % more.

Last Sold 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.
