A PSA 10 currently sells for about £501.92, raw the card sits at £40.75 — 12,3× as much. Of 9.819 copies already graded, 34 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £225.33 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 282 auctions the median was £57.34, across 486 fixed-price sales £59.30. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £31.81 and £61.42, with a median of £43.66. 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 £23.71. Offers well below £14.23 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: French £81.73 (15), Italian £33.20 (26), English £31.02 (842). French fetches about 176 % 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.
