A PSA 10 currently sells for about £280.02, raw the card sits at £17.45 — 16,0× as much. Of 2.180 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 58 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £80.60 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 160 auctions the median was £18.80, across 282 fixed-price sales £22.24. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £18.16 and £24.77, with a median of £21.28. 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 £14.90. Offers well below £8.94 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 £18.63 (380), German £15.99 (27). English fetches about 16 % 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.
