A PSA 10 currently sells for about £285.36, raw the card sits at £13.95 — 20.5× as much. Of 1.836 copies already graded, 18 % received a 10 and 41 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £100.38 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 52 auctions the median was £11.72, across 113 fixed-price sales £12.10. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £9.44 and £14.80, with a median of £11.65. 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 £7.34. Offers well below £4.41 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 £17.08 (10), English £10.33 (153). German fetches about 65 % 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.
