A PSA 10 currently sells for about £5,256, raw the card sits at £254.06 — 20,7× as much. Of 1.479 copies already graded, 9 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £1,002 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 71 auctions the median was £117.86, across 174 fixed-price sales £110.30. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £44.69 and £115.58, with a median of £79.08. 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 £26.92. Offers well below £16.15 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 £102.02 (219), German £34.00 (33). English fetches about 200 % 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.
