A PSA 10 currently sells for about £4,874, raw the card sits at £200.11 — 24,4× as much. Of 1.377 copies already graded, 7 % received a 10 and 28 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £1,278 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 102 auctions the median was £110.38, across 185 fixed-price sales £99.48. Auctions therefore fetched about 11 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between £57.51 and £110.27, with a median of £83.62. 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 £34.44. Offers well below £20.66 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 £89.67 (348), German £84.13 (29), French £31.24 (10). English fetches about 187 % 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.
