A PSA 10 currently sells for about £18,219, raw the card sits at £752.25 — 24,2× as much. Of 802 copies already graded, 6 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £2,845 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 28 auctions the median was £291.10, across 68 fixed-price sales £184.12. Auctions therefore fetched about 58 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between £77.38 and £184.12, with a median of £122.56. 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 £53.66. Offers well below £32.19 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 £180.79 (58), German £84.18 (10). English fetches about 115 % 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.
