A PSA 10 currently sells for about £173.16, raw the card sits at £21.88 — 7.9× as much. Of 1.093 copies already graded, 35 % received a 10 and 41 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £83.31 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 87 auctions the median was £9.70, across 245 fixed-price sales £13.19. Fixed price therefore fetched about 36 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £10.34 and £14.92, with a median of £13.14. 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 £7.33. Offers well below £4.40 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 £16.14 (445), German £9.71 (14). English fetches about 66 % 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.
