A PSA 10 currently sells for about £287.68, raw the card sits at £57.06 — 5,0× as much. Of 510 copies already graded, 32 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £147.97 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 31 auctions the median was £32.07, across 101 fixed-price sales £37.09. Fixed price therefore fetched about 16 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £22.56 and £44.01, with a median of £32.70. 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 £12.75. Offers well below £7.65 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: English £41.54 (102), French £29.73 (12). English fetches about 40 % 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.
