A PSA 10 currently sells for about £38.42, raw the card sits at £5.07 — 7.6× as much. Of 1.785 copies already graded, 55 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £27.62 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 61 auctions the median was £5.54, across 358 fixed-price sales £6.67. 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 £5.32 and £7.38, with a median of £6.23. 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 £4.53. Offers well below £2.72 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 £7.61 (12), German £6.97 (14), English £5.57 (520). French fetches about 37 % 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.
