A PSA 10 currently sells for about £88.99, raw the card sits at £4.18 — 21,3× as much. Of 3.145 copies already graded, 26 % received a 10 and 55 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £32.31 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 6 auctions the median was £4.40, across 30 fixed-price sales £4.16. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £1.57 and £2.66, with a median of £2.02. 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 £0.85. Offers well below £0.51 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 £2.39 (21), German £1.70 (21). English fetches about 40 % 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.
