A PSA 10 currently sells for about £631.01, raw the card sits at £23.51 — 26,8× as much. Of 1.178 copies already graded, 35 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £282.31 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 90 auctions the median was £14.63, across 262 fixed-price sales £17.81. Fixed price therefore fetched about 22 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £11.83 and £22.25, with a median of £16.04. 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 £7.80. Offers well below £4.68 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 £22.02 (424), French £16.95 (10), German £13.71 (20). English fetches about 61 % 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.
