A PSA 10 currently sells for about £49.12, raw the card sits at £9.35 — 5,3× as much. Of 1.512 copies already graded, 39 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £29.04 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 7 auctions the median was £14.82, across 59 fixed-price sales £5.38. Auctions therefore fetched about 175 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between £3.59 and £5.89, with a median of £4.58. 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 £2.91. Offers well below £1.74 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 £5.88 (65), German £3.98 (21). English fetches about 48 % 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.
