A PSA 10 currently sells for about £332.05, raw the card sits at £14.97 — 22,2× as much. Of 7.852 copies already graded, 25 % received a 10 and 51 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £105.64 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 164 auctions the median was £14.32, across 648 fixed-price sales £14.93. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £12.78 and £17.11, with a median of £14.74. 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 £10.97. Offers well below £6.58 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 £14.80 (776), Italian £14.37 (12), French £13.21 (37). English fetches about 24 % 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.
