A PSA 10 currently sells for about £739.77, raw the card sits at £26.99 — 27,4× as much. Of 3.485 copies already graded, 9 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £169.76 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 132 auctions the median was £15.73, across 376 fixed-price sales £18.56. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £11.95 and £22.15, with a median of £16.62. 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 £8.05. Offers well below £4.83 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 £23.72 (16), English £20.72 (423), Japanese £14.80 (113). Italian fetches about 165 % 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.
