A PSA 10 currently sells for about £14,595, raw the card sits at £471.79 — 30,9× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns £14,595 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.

Across 68 auctions the median was £276.32, across 67 fixed-price sales £321.98. 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 £53.47 and £199.00, with a median of £113.89. 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 £27.68. Offers well below £16.61 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 £113.19 (15), French £110.19 (11). 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.
