A PSA 10 currently sells for about £1,851, raw the card sits at £123.12 — 15,0× as much. Of 1.125 copies already graded, 10 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £492.01 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 48 auctions the median was £97.23, across 112 fixed-price sales £89.47. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £48.43 and £98.26, with a median of £66.34. 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 £31.63. Offers well below £18.98 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: English £110.70 (117), German £60.71 (12). English fetches about 82 % 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.
