A PSA 10 currently sells for about £149.02, raw the card sits at £6.18 — 24,1× as much. Of 25.434 copies already graded, 34 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £71.37 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 119 auctions the median was £11.90, across 295 fixed-price sales £12.75. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £7.81 and £14.88, with a median of £11.28. 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 £6.19. Offers well below £3.71 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: French £21.07 (37), Italian £18.29 (21), German £9.55 (141). French fetches about 194 % 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.
