A PSA 10 currently sells for about £503.78, raw the card sits at £40.90 — 12,3× as much. Of 9.819 copies already graded, 34 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £226.16 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 281 auctions the median was £57.96, across 486 fixed-price sales £59.51. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £31.93 and £61.70, with a median of £43.90. 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 £23.80. Offers well below £14.28 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 £82.03 (15), Italian £33.32 (26), English £31.13 (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.
