A PSA 10 currently sells for about £38.60, raw the card sits at £6.72 — 5,7× as much. Of 2.205 copies already graded, 58 % received a 10 and 32 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £28.62 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 59 auctions the median was £5.56, across 359 fixed-price sales £6.71. Fixed price therefore fetched about 21 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £5.36 and £7.42, with a median of £6.26. 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 £4.55. Offers well below £2.73 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 £7.64 (12), German £7.00 (14), English £5.91 (522). French fetches about 29 % 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.
