A PSA 10 currently sells for about £52.30, raw the card sits at £17.86 — 2,9× as much. Of 2.856 copies already graded, 63 % received a 10 and 24 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £41.04 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 143 auctions the median was £18.65, across 386 fixed-price sales £23.66. Fixed price therefore fetched about 27 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £17.81 and £25.88, with a median of £20.82. 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 £14.84. Offers well below £8.90 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 £31.23 (14), English £17.80 (591), German £15.32 (64). French fetches about 104 % 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.
