A PSA 10 currently sells for about £44.05, raw the card sits at £5.88 — 7,5× as much. Of 6.629 copies already graded, 67 % received a 10 and 29 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £34.59 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 207 auctions the median was £4.61, across 945 fixed-price sales £5.60. Fixed price therefore fetched about 21 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £4.46 and £6.22, with a median of £5.27. 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 £3.66. Offers well below £2.20 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 £6.56 (64), English £5.69 (1081), German £4.25 (100). Italian fetches about 76 % 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.
