A PSA 10 currently sells for about £129.85, raw the card sits at £28.55 — 4,5× as much. Of 21.500 copies already graded, 49 % received a 10 and 42 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £84.72 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 211 auctions the median was £27.79, across 460 fixed-price sales £31.94. Fixed price therefore fetched about 15 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £25.51 and £34.74, with a median of £29.43. 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 £21.26. Offers well below £12.75 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
