A PSA 10 currently sells for about £146.37, raw the card sits at £46.91 — 3.1× as much. Of 10.871 copies already graded, 52 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £103.20 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 157 auctions the median was £37.81, across 310 fixed-price sales £45.15. Fixed price therefore fetched about 19 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £37.02 and £49.40, with a median of £42.11. 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 £32.56. Offers well below £19.54 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 £41.35 (471), German £40.20 (27). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
