A PSA 10 currently sells for about £262.10, raw the card sits at £10.78 — 24.3× as much. Of 9.798 copies already graded, 15 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £60.51 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 389 auctions the median was £9.72, across 1068 fixed-price sales £11.54. Fixed price therefore fetched about 19 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £9.04 and £13.35, with a median of £11.00. 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 £7.16. Offers well below £4.30 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: French £10.82 (51), English £10.34 (1398), Italian £9.67 (22). French fetches about 36 % more.

Last Sold 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.
