A PSA 10 currently sells for about £253.10, raw the card sits at £51.43 — 4.9× as much. Of 1.677 copies already graded, 3 % received a 10 and 20 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £155.90 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 108 auctions the median was £31.18, across 214 fixed-price sales £36.37. Fixed price therefore fetched about 17 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £25.23 and £43.74, with a median of £33.11. 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 £17.71. Offers well below £10.62 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: English £36.56 (335), German £21.25 (26). English fetches about 72 % 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.
