A PSA 10 currently sells for about £8,867, raw the card sits at £210.01 — 42,2× as much. Of 217 copies already graded, 6 % received a 10 and 25 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £1,189 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 30 auctions the median was £151.35, across 30 fixed-price sales £225.34. Fixed price therefore fetched about 49 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £85.02 and £147.86, with a median of £100.47. 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 £49.72. Offers well below £29.83 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
