A PSA 10 currently sells for about £76.35, raw the card sits at £14.83 — 5,1× as much. Of 21.376 copies already graded, 61 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £57.10 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 475 auctions the median was £22.11, across 637 fixed-price sales £23.21. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £15.81 and £25.83, with a median of £20.77. 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 £13.84. Offers well below £8.31 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 £34.18 (54), German £21.25 (130), English £14.83 (866). French fetches about 148 % 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.
