A PSA 10 currently sells for about £3,111, raw the card sits at £53.15 — 58,5× as much. Of 3.462 copies already graded, 8 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £546.27 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 179 auctions the median was £34.01, across 277 fixed-price sales £58.08. Fixed price therefore fetched about 71 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £26.77 and £59.67, with a median of £40.49. 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 £14.92. Offers well below £8.95 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 £44.80 (17), French £26.10 (22), English £26.02 (414). German fetches about 176 % 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.
