A PSA 10 currently sells for about £72.79, raw the card sits at £4.79 — 15,2× as much. Of 1.503 copies already graded, 52 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £50.38 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 50 auctions the median was £4.39, across 203 fixed-price sales £5.76. Fixed price therefore fetched about 31 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £4.42 and £6.42, with a median of £5.20. 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 £3.73. Offers well below £2.24 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 £5.88 (27), English £4.50 (309). German fetches about 31 % 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.
