A PSA 10 currently sells for about £52.27, raw the card sits at £7.66 — 6.8× as much. Of 1.822 copies already graded, 66 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £42.09 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 60 auctions the median was £7.81, across 333 fixed-price sales £8.95. Fixed price therefore fetched about 15 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £7.32 and £9.99, with a median of £8.64. 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 £5.92. Offers well below £3.55 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 £15.63 (13), German £7.57 (23), English £7.56 (396). French fetches about 107 % 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.
