A PSA 10 currently sells for about £77.03, raw the card sits at £10.45 — 7,4× as much. Of 4.114 copies already graded, 19 % received a 10 and 62 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £28.09 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 110 auctions the median was £10.25, across 300 fixed-price sales £14.96. Fixed price therefore fetched about 46 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £10.32 and £15.77, with a median of £12.43. 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 £8.56. Offers well below £5.14 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: French £13.72 (14), English £10.43 (677), German £8.93 (50). French fetches about 54 % 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.
