A PSA 10 currently sells for about £135.04, raw the card sits at £35.66 — 3.8× as much. Of 8.935 copies already graded, 53 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £95.39 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 183 auctions the median was £45.22, across 436 fixed-price sales £50.26. 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 £39.11 and £52.78, with a median of £44.91. 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 £33.45. Offers well below £20.07 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 £42.56 (539), French £36.98 (13), German £32.89 (38). English fetches about 29 % 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.
