A PSA 10 currently sells for about £162.06, raw the card sits at £11.69 — 13,9× as much. Of 11.543 copies already graded, 49 % received a 10 and 39 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £95.53 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 355 auctions the median was £14.62, across 634 fixed-price sales £14.08. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £10.61 and £15.62, with a median of £12.67. 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 £8.31. Offers well below £4.98 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 £27.21 (39), German £22.47 (77), French £16.48 (56). Italian fetches about 144 % 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.
