A PSA 10 currently sells for about £345.25, raw the card sits at £36.57 — 9,4× as much. Of 587 copies already graded, 30 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £164.35 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 25 auctions the median was £20.86, across 70 fixed-price sales £19.67. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £14.71 and £26.11, with a median of £18.83. 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 £10.49. Offers well below £6.30 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
