A PSA 10 currently sells for about £621.69, raw the card sits at £23.35 — 26,6× as much. Of 1.083 copies already graded, 14 % received a 10 and 57 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £114.70 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 106 auctions the median was £15.08, across 394 fixed-price sales £18.71. Fixed price therefore fetched about 24 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £12.77 and £23.13, with a median of £17.53. 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 £8.72. Offers well below £5.23 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 £23.58 (406), German £21.26 (27), Japanese £15.51 (94). English fetches about 52 % 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.
