A PSA 10 currently sells for about £213.11, raw the card sits at £9.43 — 22,6× as much. Of 1.007 copies already graded, 81 % received a 10 and 14 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £188.64 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 330 auctions the median was £9.87, across 834 fixed-price sales £12.05. 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 £8.91 and £13.72, with a median of £11.45. 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 £7.43. Offers well below £4.46 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 £21.88 (86), English £9.44 (1058), German £9.35 (216). French fetches about 134 % 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.
