A PSA 10 currently sells for about £115.71, raw the card sits at £7.85 — 14,7× as much. Of 6.073 copies already graded, 27 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £41.98 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 255 auctions the median was £6.22, across 840 fixed-price sales £8.39. Fixed price therefore fetched about 35 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £6.22 and £9.37, with a median of £7.91. 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 £4.29. Offers well below £2.58 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 £10.20 (26), English £7.83 (1129), French £5.38 (29). Italian fetches about 140 % 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.
