A PSA 10 currently sells for about £334.54, raw the card sits at £37.86 — 8.8× as much. Of 487 copies already graded, 41 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £193.33 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 13 auctions the median was £42.54, across 34 fixed-price sales £35.47. Auctions therefore fetched about 20 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between £24.39 and £39.18, with a median of £31.35. 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 £18.14. Offers well below £10.88 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.
