A PSA 10 currently sells for about £2,513, raw the card sits at £145.65 — 17,3× as much. Of 901 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £912.80 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 48 auctions the median was £83.69, across 110 fixed-price sales £98.07. Fixed price therefore fetched about 17 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £59.77 and £126.97, with a median of £82.18. 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 £34.01. Offers well below £20.41 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: German £108.87 (15), English £107.13 (126), French £71.32 (10). German fetches about 53 % 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.
