A PSA 10 currently sells for about £49.77, raw the card sits at £4.48 — 11,1× as much. Of 5.614 copies already graded, 67 % received a 10 and 28 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £38.96 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 £6.38, across 919 fixed-price sales £5.94. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £4.45 and £7.41, with a median of £5.53. 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 £3.68. Offers well below £2.21 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 £8.52 (33), German £4.74 (102), English £3.73 (1293). French fetches about 128 % 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.
