A PSA 10 currently sells for about £63.64, raw the card sits at £19.11 — 3,3× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns £63.64 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.

Across 155 auctions the median was £24.94, across 327 fixed-price sales £24.95. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £18.22 and £24.83, with a median of £20.91. 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 £14.87. Offers well below £8.92 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: Japanese £23.76 (596), English £18.32 (39). Japanese fetches about 30 % 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.
