A PSA 10 currently sells for about £11,278, raw the card sits at £98.49 — 114,5× as much. Of 6.235 copies already graded, 3 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £858.93 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 113 auctions the median was £113.33, across 152 fixed-price sales £107.56. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £44.69 and £94.85, with a median of £61.97. 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 £29.76. Offers well below £17.86 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 £62.22 (87), French £34.17 (14). English fetches about 82 % 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.
