A PSA 10 currently sells for about £127.52, raw the card sits at £11.25 — 11,3× as much. Of 2.107 copies already graded, 21 % received a 10 and 55 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £41.13 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 56 auctions the median was £10.96, across 277 fixed-price sales £13.05. Fixed price therefore fetched about 19 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £9.99 and £14.30, with a median of £12.18. 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 £8.41. Offers well below £5.05 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 £11.76 (13), English £11.19 (276). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
