A PSA 10 currently sells for about £443.98, raw the card sits at £37.71 — 11,8× as much. Of 24.326 copies already graded, 27 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £168.91 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 211 auctions the median was £37.18, across 567 fixed-price sales £39.67. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £31.55 and £42.29, with a median of £36.80. 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 £24.66. Offers well below £14.80 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 £35.59 (766), Italian £29.68 (43), French £27.07 (47). English fetches about 67 % 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.
