A PSA 10 currently sells for about £55.48, raw the card sits at £2.53 — 22,0× as much. Of 3.954 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £30.68 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 24 auctions the median was £3.40, across 118 fixed-price sales £2.72. Auctions therefore fetched about 25 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between £2.08 and £3.44, with a median of £2.56. 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 £1.47. Offers well below £0.88 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: Italian £2.72 (26), English £2.55 (280). 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.
