A PSA 10 currently sells for about £194.40, raw the card sits at £6.33 — 30,7× as much. Of 12.339 copies already graded, 13 % received a 10 and 62 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £39.64 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 290 auctions the median was £9.62, across 588 fixed-price sales £7.64. Auctions therefore fetched about 26 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between £5.94 and £10.20, with a median of £7.47. 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 £4.79. Offers well below £2.87 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 £12.36 (96), German £6.38 (86), English £6.33 (640). French fetches about 95 % 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.
