A PSA 10 currently sells for about £38.77, raw the card sits at £6.76 — 5.7× as much. Of 3.027 copies already graded, 63 % received a 10 and 27 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £27.71 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 52 auctions the median was £7.30, across 249 fixed-price sales £7.87. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £6.62 and £8.79, with a median of £7.38. 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 £5.11. Offers well below £3.07 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 £8.88 (376), German £4.64 (10). English fetches about 91 % 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.
