A PSA 10 currently sells for about £1,003, raw the card sits at £49.55 — 20.2× as much. Of 5.780 copies already graded, 16 % received a 10 and 46 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £285.37 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 111 auctions the median was £46.47, across 243 fixed-price sales £40.78. Auctions therefore fetched about 14 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between £31.51 and £44.58, with a median of £36.60. 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 £26.82. Offers well below £16.09 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 £50.90 (15), English £49.51 (377). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
