A PSA 10 currently sells for about £134.41, raw the card sits at £25.89 — 5.2× as much. Of 6.517 copies already graded, 29 % received a 10 and 54 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £62.89 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 153 auctions the median was £29.67, across 416 fixed-price sales £32.46. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £25.43 and £33.90, with a median of £29.29. 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 £21.67. Offers well below £13.00 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 £35.07 (10), English £28.98 (502), German £23.73 (35). Italian fetches about 48 % 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.
