A PSA 10 currently sells for about £9,310, raw the card sits at £1,295 — 7.2× as much. Of 6.613 copies already graded, 39 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £6,239 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 199 auctions the median was £2,484, across 222 fixed-price sales £2,118. Auctions therefore fetched about 17 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between £653.58 and £1,967, with a median of £1,193. 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 £445.48. Offers well below £267.29 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 £1,391 (260), Italian £570.43 (21). English fetches about 144 % 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.
