A PSA 10 currently sells for about £125.71, raw the card sits at £3.22 — 39,0× as much. Of 2.251 copies already graded, 38 % received a 10 and 42 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £57.67 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 57 auctions the median was £2.96, across 243 fixed-price sales £2.98. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £2.39 and £3.63, with a median of £2.96. 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 £1.87. Offers well below £1.12 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 £4.25 (19), German £3.40 (36), English £2.93 (438). French fetches about 45 % 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.
