A PSA 10 currently sells for about £110.13, raw the card sits at £2.93 — 37,6× as much. Of 2.322 copies already graded, 31 % received a 10 and 46 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £49.56 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 46 auctions the median was £2.41, across 231 fixed-price sales £3.12. Fixed price therefore fetched about 29 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £2.24 and £3.44, with a median of £2.87. 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 £1.78. Offers well below £1.07 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: French £4.10 (13), English £2.70 (433), German £2.59 (37). French fetches about 59 % 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.
