A PSA 10 currently sells for about £62.99, raw the card sits at £10.07 — 6,3× as much. Of 824 copies already graded, 71 % received a 10 and 21 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £49.59 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 327 auctions the median was £9.68, across 817 fixed-price sales £11.96. Fixed price therefore fetched about 24 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £9.08 and £13.72, with a median of £11.33. 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 £6.96. Offers well below £4.17 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 £10.08 (1265), French £9.76 (39), Italian £5.06 (42). English fetches about 106 % 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.
