Time-Space Distortion

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £17,240, raw the card sits at £18.59 — 927,5× as much. Of 476 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £1,201 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 44 auctions the median was £34.01, across 81 fixed-price sales £32.87. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £18.70 and £40.53, with a median of £29.48. 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 £14.66. Offers well below £8.80 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: German £36.42 (12), English £21.55 (127). German fetches about 69 % 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.
