A PSA 10 currently sells for about £741.23, raw the card sits at £6.39 — 115,9× as much. Of 559 copies already graded, 9 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £159.71 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 30 auctions the median was £14.35, across 81 fixed-price sales £13.73. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £8.70 and £17.70, with a median of £12.53. 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 £5.53. Offers well below £3.32 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: German £10.69 (37), English £10.02 (122). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
