A PSA 10 currently sells for about £250.75, raw the card sits at £47.37 — 5,3× as much. Of 11.944 copies already graded, 52 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £165.80 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 173 auctions the median was £55.90, across 433 fixed-price sales £70.75. Fixed price therefore fetched about 27 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £52.07 and £71.20, with a median of £59.93. 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 £43.89. Offers well below £26.33 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 £88.05 (10), German £61.09 (35), English £56.35 (507). French fetches about 56 % 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.
