A PSA 10 currently sells for about £2,211, raw the card sits at £87.28 — 25,3× as much. Of 2.799 copies already graded, 4 % received a 10 and 25 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £343.25 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 99 auctions the median was £43.71, across 212 fixed-price sales £61.23. Fixed price therefore fetched about 40 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £36.61 and £66.67, with a median of £51.90. 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 £28.34. Offers well below £17.00 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 £115.16 (33), Italian £87.35 (19), English £60.08 (321). German fetches about 92 % 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.
