A PSA 10 currently sells for about £140.18, raw the card sits at £21.12 — 6.6× as much. Of 23.481 copies already graded, 60 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £100.40 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 334 auctions the median was £25.16, across 825 fixed-price sales £25.41. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £18.23 and £25.97, with a median of £22.00. 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 £15.14. Offers well below £9.09 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 £49.80 (17), Italian £29.64 (15), German £24.99 (72). French fetches about 136 % 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.
