A PSA 10 currently sells for about £120.61, raw the card sits at £8.93 — 13.5× as much. Of 8.181 copies already graded, 26 % received a 10 and 57 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £46.10 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 340 auctions the median was £7.70, across 813 fixed-price sales £9.04. Fixed price therefore fetched about 17 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £7.41 and £9.84, with a median of £8.65. 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 £6.22. Offers well below £3.73 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 £13.54 (28), Italian £11.78 (21), English £8.93 (1153). French fetches about 78 % 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.
