A PSA 10 currently sells for about £1,459, raw the card sits at £48.57 — 30,0× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns £1,459 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.

Across 371 auctions the median was £22.27, across 661 fixed-price sales £26.11. Fixed price therefore fetched about 17 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £16.79 and £31.11, with a median of £22.40. 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 £12.44. Offers well below £7.46 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: Italian £48.89 (28), German £34.66 (72), English £21.72 (1038). Italian fetches about 125 % 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.
