A PSA 10 currently sells for about £433.09, raw the card sits at £10.04 — 43.1× as much. Of 2.098 copies already graded, 20 % received a 10 and 40 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £133.50 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 £4.93, across 62 fixed-price sales £5.23. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £3.01 and £7.37, with a median of £4.51. 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 £1.77. Offers well below £1.06 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: French £11.01 (14), English £4.89 (98). French fetches about 125 % more.

Last Sold 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.
