A PSA 10 currently sells for about £166.87, raw the card sits at £7.47 — 22,3× as much. Of 1.965 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £48.15 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 34 auctions the median was £7.46, across 162 fixed-price sales £8.50. Fixed price therefore fetched about 14 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £6.97 and £9.78, with a median of £8.00. 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 £5.43. Offers well below £3.26 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 £7.47 (292), German £7.36 (17). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
