A PSA 10 currently sells for about £848.31, raw the card sits at £17.01 — 49.9× as much. Of 1.101 copies already graded, 15 % received a 10 and 41 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £263.67 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 83 auctions the median was £9.57, across 248 fixed-price sales £10.87. Fixed price therefore fetched about 14 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £6.99 and £13.15, with a median of £9.78. 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 £4.83. Offers well below £2.90 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: German £17.25 (11), English £14.91 (375). German fetches about 16 % more.

Last Sold 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.
