A PSA 10 currently sells for about £165.84, raw the card sits at £6.89 — 24,1× as much. Of 1.676 copies already graded, 44 % received a 10 and 43 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £84.05 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 110 auctions the median was £6.31, across 545 fixed-price sales £7.43. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £6.32 and £8.67, with a median of £7.30. 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 £4.75. Offers well below £2.85 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 £6.97 (46), English £6.72 (754), French £6.50 (22). German fetches about 56 % 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.
