A PSA 10 currently sells for about £88.32, raw the card sits at £4.43 — 19,9× as much. Of 2.740 copies already graded, 31 % received a 10 and 51 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £40.08 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 76 auctions the median was £4.10, across 366 fixed-price sales £4.59. Fixed price therefore fetched about 12 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £3.66 and £5.33, with a median of £4.36. 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 £3.15. Offers well below £1.89 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 £8.50 (32), Italian £5.94 (13), German £4.24 (82). French fetches about 110 % 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.
