A PSA 10 currently sells for about £134.84, raw the card sits at £25.91 — 5,2× as much. Of 6.757 copies already graded, 32 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £65.88 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 153 auctions the median was £29.76, across 421 fixed-price sales £32.20. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £25.51 and £33.90, with a median of £29.35. 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 £21.74. Offers well below £13.05 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 £34.00 (10), English £25.88 (508), German £19.98 (35). Italian fetches about 70 % 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.
