A PSA 10 currently sells for about £87.24, raw the card sits at £14.83 — 5.9× as much. Of 8.128 copies already graded, 59 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £61.76 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 86 auctions the median was £17.12, across 420 fixed-price sales £18.99. Fixed price therefore fetched about 11 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £14.57 and £19.80, with a median of £16.07. 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 £12.78. Offers well below £7.67 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 £19.27 (18), German £18.33 (26), Italian £18.07 (28). French fetches about 30 % 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.
