A PSA 10 currently sells for about £2,167, raw the card sits at £208.43 — 10,4× as much. Of 969 copies already graded, 11 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £684.47 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 47 auctions the median was £85.88, across 132 fixed-price sales £76.78. Auctions therefore fetched about 12 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between £35.59 and £85.77, with a median of £53.85. 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 £23.45. Offers well below £14.07 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 £89.52 (119), German £51.33 (16). English fetches about 74 % 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.
