A PSA 10 currently sells for about £147.24, raw the card sits at £42.46 — 3,5× as much. Of 28.023 copies already graded, 63 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £109.39 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 232 auctions the median was £44.20, across 576 fixed-price sales £44.64. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £35.55 and £43.79, with a median of £39.29. 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 £30.81. Offers well below £18.48 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 £79.40 (13), German £48.00 (49), English £37.10 (612). French fetches about 120 % 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.
