A PSA 10 currently sells for about £4,509, raw the card sits at £81.95 — 55,0× as much. Of 5.963 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 28 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £500.81 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 151 auctions the median was £91.84, across 174 fixed-price sales £94.63. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £44.54 and £92.75, with a median of £66.10. 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 £25.99. Offers well below £15.59 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: German £101.78 (14), English £53.63 (144). German fetches about 90 % 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.
