A PSA 10 currently sells for about £411.18, raw the card sits at £124.36 — 3,3× as much. Of 1.986 copies already graded, 38 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £249.83 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 49 auctions the median was £81.53, across 143 fixed-price sales £98.02. 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 £72.75 and £105.89, with a median of £88.77. 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 £58.15. Offers well below £34.89 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: Italian £105.86 (10), English £96.23 (194). Italian fetches about 10 % 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.
