A PSA 10 currently sells for about £97.34, raw the card sits at £8.20 — 11,9× as much. Of 2.435 copies already graded, 63 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £72.25 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 119 auctions the median was £7.65, across 438 fixed-price sales £8.50. Fixed price therefore fetched about 11 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £6.79 and £9.73, with a median of £8.14. 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 £4.45. Offers well below £2.67 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 £7.83 (539), French £5.68 (15), Italian £5.53 (20). English fetches about 105 % 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.
