A PSA 10 currently sells for about £76.89, raw the card sits at £10.41 — 7.4× as much. Of 4.114 copies already graded, 19 % received a 10 and 62 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £28.04 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 111 auctions the median was £10.23, across 301 fixed-price sales £14.79. Fixed price therefore fetched about 45 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £10.30 and £15.70, with a median of £12.39. 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 £8.55. Offers well below £5.13 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 £13.93 (14), English £10.48 (677), German £8.91 (52). French fetches about 56 % 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.
