A PSA 10 currently sells for about £215.94, raw the card sits at £18.99 — 11.4× as much. Of 6.531 copies already graded, 31 % received a 10 and 51 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £87.82 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 110 auctions the median was £18.20, across 425 fixed-price sales £17.87. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £14.67 and £20.50, with a median of £16.81. 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 £13.23. Offers well below £7.94 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: German £21.64 (40), French £20.58 (13), Italian £17.56 (12). German 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.
