A PSA 10 currently sells for about £74.53, raw the card sits at £9.90 — 7,5× as much. Of 1.798 copies already graded, 62 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £53.09 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 58 auctions the median was £8.49, across 388 fixed-price sales £9.17. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £7.31 and £9.98, with a median of £8.70. 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 £5.88. Offers well below £3.53 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 £20.19 (11), English £9.69 (512), Italian £9.07 (19). French fetches about 138 % 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.
