A PSA 10 currently sells for about £34.07, raw the card sits at £2.15 — 15.8× as much. Of 3.823 copies already graded, 40 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £21.04 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 116 auctions the median was £2.07, across 373 fixed-price sales £2.56. Fixed price therefore fetched about 24 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £1.76 and £3.06, with a median of £2.39. 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 £1.30. Offers well below £0.78 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: French £2.78 (11), German £2.54 (32), English £1.52 (857). French fetches about 84 % 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.
