A PSA 10 currently sells for about £211.62, raw the card sits at £16.83 — 12,6× as much. Of 11.745 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £68.88 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 339 auctions the median was £17.26, across 956 fixed-price sales £18.60. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £14.57 and £21.06, with a median of £17.50. 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 £11.23. Offers well below £6.74 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: Italian £16.77 (17), English £14.78 (1158), German £11.17 (143). Italian fetches about 92 % 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.
