A PSA 10 currently sells for about £152.71, raw the card sits at £44.50 — 3,4× as much. Of 11.687 copies already graded, 52 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £103.50 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 153 auctions the median was £37.96, across 302 fixed-price sales £45.28. 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 £37.22 and £49.63, with a median of £42.41. 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 £32.71. Offers well below £19.63 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 £40.77 (28), English £40.51 (461). 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.
