A PSA 10 currently sells for about £3,651, raw the card sits at £34.38 — 106,2× as much. Of 792 copies already graded, 11 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £612.91 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 54 auctions the median was £24.70, across 104 fixed-price sales £25.82. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £14.91 and £29.76, with a median of £21.13. 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 £10.41. Offers well below £6.24 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 £42.34 (31), French £28.05 (15), English £20.48 (92). German fetches about 107 % 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.
