A PSA 10 currently sells for about £99.08, raw the card sits at £20.71 — 4,8× as much. Of 7.072 copies already graded, 35 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £50.57 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 261 auctions the median was £22.53, across 570 fixed-price sales £26.58. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £21.23 and £28.85, with a median of £24.46. 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 £18.26. Offers well below £10.95 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: Italian £51.02 (14), French £45.93 (26), German £24.80 (65). Italian fetches about 146 % 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.
