A PSA 10 currently sells for about £59.40, raw the card sits at £12.69 — 4,7× as much. Of 13.511 copies already graded, 66 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £45.01 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 336 auctions the median was £14.86, across 451 fixed-price sales £14.72. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £11.55 and £15.31, with a median of £13.36. 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 £9.92. Offers well below £5.95 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 £19.57 (22), Italian £13.61 (20), English £12.53 (832). French fetches about 70 % 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.
