A PSA 10 currently sells for about £49.54, raw the card sits at £4.47 — 11.1× as much. Of 5.693 copies already graded, 65 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £38.25 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 359 auctions the median was £6.35, across 918 fixed-price sales £5.90. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £4.43 and £7.37, with a median of £5.50. 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 £3.67. Offers well below £2.20 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 £8.48 (33), German £4.99 (103), English £3.71 (1289). French fetches about 129 % 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.
