A PSA 10 currently sells for about £5,854, raw the card sits at £60.04 — 97,5× as much. Of 1.535 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £658.93 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 196 auctions the median was £51.24, across 331 fixed-price sales £58.44. Fixed price therefore fetched about 14 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £29.16 and £64.77, with a median of £46.77. 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 £17.01. Offers well below £10.20 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 £50.93 (498), Italian £41.18 (29), German £29.24 (19). English fetches about 86 % 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.
