A PSA 10 currently sells for about £3,005, raw the card sits at £48.97 — 61,4× as much. Of 503 copies already graded, 5 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £416.62 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 44 auctions the median was £33.31, across 138 fixed-price sales £34.51. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £17.81 and £39.85, with a median of £27.32. 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 £10.97. Offers well below £6.58 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 £43.95 (209), German £33.81 (13). English fetches about 30 % 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.
