A PSA 10 currently sells for about £2,404, raw the card sits at £5.21 — 461,2× as much. Of 396 copies already graded, 59 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £1,634 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 19 auctions the median was £3.67, across 116 fixed-price sales £3.54. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £2.20 and £5.33, with a median of £3.11. 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 £1.71. Offers well below £1.03 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 £4.42 (297), German £3.27 (10). English fetches about 35 % 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.
