A PSA 10 currently sells for about £38.91, raw the card sits at £9.80 — 4,0× as much. Of 386 copies already graded, 52 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £31.58 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 12 auctions the median was £16.66, across 92 fixed-price sales £12.61. Auctions therefore fetched about 32 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between £10.44 and £17.40, with a median of £12.93. 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 £8.71. Offers well below £5.22 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 £14.79 (15), English £9.43 (104). French fetches about 57 % 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.
