A PSA 10 currently sells for about £194.69, raw the card sits at £15.87 — 12,3× as much. Of 9.334 copies already graded, 64 % received a 10 and 25 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £136.27 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 19 auctions the median was £15.77, across 90 fixed-price sales £24.06. Fixed price therefore fetched about 53 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £17.01 and £24.67, with a median of £19.79. 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 £14.65. Offers well below £8.79 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: German £24.38 (13), English £17.62 (110). German fetches about 38 % 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.
