A PSA 10 currently sells for about £2,590, raw the card sits at £22.25 — 116,4× as much. Of 3.069 copies already graded, 2 % received a 10 and 23 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £179.12 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 157 auctions the median was £12.79, across 243 fixed-price sales £18.06. Fixed price therefore fetched about 41 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £10.60 and £18.71, with a median of £14.34. 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 £7.41. Offers well below £4.44 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 £13.86 (370), German £9.20 (33), Japanese £4.68 (54). English fetches about 196 % 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.
