A PSA 10 currently sells for about £876.42, raw the card sits at £30.98 — 28,3× as much. Of 1.042 copies already graded, 7 % received a 10 and 18 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £261.13 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 231 auctions the median was £15.30, across 502 fixed-price sales £15.92. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £12.16 and £21.26, with a median of £15.10. 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 £9.68. Offers well below £5.81 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 £18.61 (17), English £16.53 (717), German £10.88 (58). Italian fetches about 71 % 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.
