A PSA 10 currently sells for about £155.19, raw the card sits at £17.39 — 8,9× as much. Of 5.102 copies already graded, 52 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £101.04 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 158 auctions the median was £18.69, across 351 fixed-price sales £19.89. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £14.83 and £21.96, with a median of £18.29. 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 £12.26. Offers well below £7.36 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 £21.25 (15), Italian £18.21 (13), English £16.78 (514). French fetches about 33 % 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.
