A PSA 10 currently sells for about £564.33, raw the card sits at £28.72 — 19,7× as much. Of 336 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £196.28 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 8 auctions the median was £27.68, across 34 fixed-price sales £26.44. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £13.51 and £26.89, with a median of £21.83. 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 £7.46. Offers well below £4.47 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
