A PSA 10 currently sells for about £7,117, raw the card sits at £89.42 — 79,6× as much. Of 2.197 copies already graded, 6 % received a 10 and 24 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £1,190 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 217 auctions the median was £77.42, across 263 fixed-price sales £97.24. Fixed price therefore fetched about 26 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £36.91 and £101.90, with a median of £62.47. 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 £24.65. Offers well below £14.79 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: German £122.11 (28), English £62.86 (529). German fetches about 94 % 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.
