A PSA 10 currently sells for about £154.46, raw the card sits at £4.19 — 36,8× as much. Of 4.156 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 54 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £46.90 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 79 auctions the median was £4.09, across 413 fixed-price sales £4.46. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £3.72 and £5.44, with a median of £4.41. 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 £3.16. Offers well below £1.90 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: German £9.02 (32), French £5.55 (19), English £4.46 (565). German fetches about 102 % 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.
