A PSA 10 currently sells for about £1,733, raw the card sits at £20.71 — 83,6× as much. Of 7.314 copies already graded, 2 % received a 10 and 18 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £111.86 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 324 auctions the median was £12.78, across 429 fixed-price sales £14.92. 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 £10.00 and £17.81, with a median of £13.36. 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 £7.30. Offers well below £4.38 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 £31.46 (40), Italian £25.51 (11), French £17.42 (10). German fetches about 105 % 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.
