A PSA 10 currently sells for about £58.65, raw the card sits at £9.22 — 6,4× as much. Of 19.422 copies already graded, 63 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £43.48 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 280 auctions the median was £13.37, across 485 fixed-price sales £13.88. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £10.17 and £14.63, with a median of £12.01. 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 £7.64. Offers well below £4.59 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 £10.65 (37), English £7.87 (814), German £6.38 (72). French 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.
