A PSA 10 currently sells for about £237.53, raw the card sits at £85.68 — 2,8× as much. Of 6.437 copies already graded, 62 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £177.48 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 100 auctions the median was £53.62, across 243 fixed-price sales £74.16. Fixed price therefore fetched about 38 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £49.05 and £71.12, with a median of £59.38. 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 £39.95. Offers well below £23.97 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 £64.52 (328), German £35.37 (20). English fetches about 82 % 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.
