A PSA 10 currently sells for about £176.89, raw the card sits at £31.62 — 5.6× as much. Of 8.272 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 54 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £90.32 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 208 auctions the median was £30.72, across 472 fixed-price sales £33.59. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £24.40 and £36.15, with a median of £30.03. 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 £17.35. Offers well below £10.41 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 £34.03 (404), French £26.77 (12), German £17.56 (35). English fetches about 94 % more.

Last Sold 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.
