A PSA 10 currently sells for about £148.54, raw the card sits at £30.41 — 4,9× as much. Of 27.573 copies already graded, 57 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £101.73 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 219 auctions the median was £43.37, across 626 fixed-price sales £39.67. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £31.90 and £41.76, with a median of £36.53. 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 £29.06. Offers well below £17.43 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 £79.30 (19), German £51.02 (42), Italian £36.89 (22). French fetches about 168 % 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.
