A PSA 10 currently sells for about £281.88, raw the card sits at £13.44 — 21,0× as much. Of 7.195 copies already graded, 25 % received a 10 and 49 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £93.58 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 100 auctions the median was £13.05, across 539 fixed-price sales £13.41. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £11.01 and £14.86, with a median of £12.80. 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 £9.22. Offers well below £5.53 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 £13.20 (32), English £12.61 (684), German £9.75 (99). French fetches about 35 % 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.
