A PSA 10 currently sells for about £1,189, raw the card sits at £29.21 — 40,7× as much. Of 5.268 copies already graded, 10 % received a 10 and 41 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £250.77 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 128 auctions the median was £44.34, across 143 fixed-price sales £43.17. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £22.75 and £44.06, with a median of £30.67. 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 £14.88. Offers well below £8.93 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 £30.64 (11), English £29.68 (129). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
