A PSA 10 currently sells for about £147.97, raw the card sits at £8.24 — 18,0× as much. Of 1.701 copies already graded, 39 % received a 10 and 46 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £69.85 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 65 auctions the median was £5.99, across 362 fixed-price sales £7.42. Fixed price therefore fetched about 24 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £5.86 and £8.10, with a median of £6.98. 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 £4.40. Offers well below £2.64 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: German £7.65 (22), English £7.39 (546). 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.
