A PSA 10 currently sells for about £4,531, raw the card sits at £471.05 — 9,6× as much. Of 1.718 copies already graded, 8 % received a 10 and 21 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £1,087 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 55 auctions the median was £148.10, across 115 fixed-price sales £177.97. 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 £93.94 and £184.42, with a median of £126.76. 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 £69.38. Offers well below £41.63 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 £194.55 (11), German £150.89 (13), English £106.72 (151). French fetches about 82 % 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.
