A PSA 10 currently sells for about £630,698, raw the card sits at £5,074 — 124,3× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns £630,698 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.

Across 64 auctions the median was £4,302, across 67 fixed-price sales £3,571. Auctions therefore fetched about 20 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between £1,977 and £4,546, with a median of £2,513. 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 £1,646. Offers well below £987.38 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
