A PSA 10 currently sells for about £42.05, raw the card sits at £13.89 — 3,0× as much. Of 1.023 copies already graded, 6 % received a 10 and 15 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £76.08 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 37 auctions the median was £2.24, across 92 fixed-price sales £4.32. Fixed price therefore fetched about 93 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £2.49 and £6.79, with a median of £4.08. 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 £1.64. Offers well below £0.98 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 £5.88 (14), German £5.33 (19), English £3.69 (199). French fetches about 59 % 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.
