A PSA 10 currently sells for about £3,537, raw the card sits at £62.89 — 56,2× as much. Of 578 copies already graded, 5 % received a 10 and 23 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £401.04 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 79 auctions the median was £11.32, across 201 fixed-price sales £11.19. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £4.17 and £14.93, with a median of £9.63. 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 £2.61. Offers well below £1.57 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: English £8.96 (355), German £4.68 (22). English 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.
