A PSA 10 currently sells for about £3,342, raw the card sits at £41.58 — 80,4× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns £3,342 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 406 auctions the median was £18.27, across 621 fixed-price sales £22.29. Fixed price therefore fetched about 22 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £14.67 and £26.55, with a median of £18.59. 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 £10.69. Offers well below £6.41 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 £40.14 (21), German £20.82 (36), English £17.84 (943). 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.
