A PSA 10 currently sells for about £2,968, raw the card sits at £179.69 — 16,5× as much. Of 2.992 copies already graded, 7 % received a 10 and 24 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £704.74 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 237 auctions the median was £105.36, across 500 fixed-price sales £133.22. Fixed price therefore fetched about 26 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £81.73 and £145.57, with a median of £106.68. 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 £63.57. Offers well below £38.14 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: Japanese £200.23 (57), English £132.15 (813). Japanese fetches about 52 % 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.
