A PSA 10 currently sells for about £147.26, raw the card sits at £14.66 — 10,0× as much. Of 1.329 copies already graded, 34 % received a 10 and 42 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £74.49 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 64 auctions the median was £11.07, across 246 fixed-price sales £14.86. Fixed price therefore fetched about 34 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £12.38 and £16.83, with a median of £14.53. 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 £9.07. Offers well below £5.44 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 £14.71 (325), German £13.06 (18). English fetches about 13 % 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.
