A PSA 10 currently sells for about £63.07, raw the card sits at £13.78 — 4,6× as much. Of 16.193 copies already graded, 62 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £47.85 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 503 auctions the median was £18.28, across 835 fixed-price sales £17.81. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £14.13 and £18.36, with a median of £15.81. 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 £12.33. Offers well below £7.40 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: French £24.38 (47), Italian £21.26 (38), English £13.38 (969). French fetches about 83 % 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.
