A PSA 10 currently sells for about £94.87, raw the card sits at £14.81 — 6,4× as much. Of 3.949 copies already graded, 45 % received a 10 and 42 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £57.94 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 £16.67, across 224 fixed-price sales £22.93. Fixed price therefore fetched about 38 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £17.01 and £23.60, with a median of £20.07. 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 £14.64. Offers well below £8.79 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 £21.22 (20), English £14.82 (231). German fetches about 43 % 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.
