A PSA 10 currently sells for about £25,340, raw the card sits at £121.92 — 207,8× as much. Of 2.193 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 20 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £3,204 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 50 auctions the median was £226.63, across 116 fixed-price sales £194.38. Auctions therefore fetched about 17 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between £110.53 and £245.32, with a median of £152.64. 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 £79.38. Offers well below £47.63 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 £159.40 (145), Italian £57.26 (10). English fetches about 178 % 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.
