A PSA 10 currently sells for about £139.33, raw the card sits at £44.62 — 3,1× as much. Of 7.034 copies already graded, 55 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £96.71 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 100 auctions the median was £44.22, across 204 fixed-price sales £53.08. Fixed price therefore fetched about 20 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £36.45 and £49.46, with a median of £42.49. 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 £29.83. Offers well below £17.90 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 £47.61 (10), English £42.53 (255). German fetches about 12 % 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.
