A PSA 10 currently sells for about £240.77, raw the card sits at £7.44 — 32.3× as much. Of 12.788 copies already graded, 35 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £110.79 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 280 auctions the median was £9.34, across 847 fixed-price sales £8.95. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £7.01 and £10.68, with a median of £8.19. 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 £5.58. Offers well below £3.35 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 £19.20 (13), French £10.22 (25), Italian £8.90 (127). German fetches about 146 % more.

Last Sold 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.
