A PSA 10 currently sells for about £178.55, raw the card sits at £8.95 — 20,0× as much. Of 4.807 copies already graded, 20 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £50.56 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 236 auctions the median was £7.90, across 725 fixed-price sales £9.74. Fixed price therefore fetched about 23 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £7.73 and £10.99, with a median of £8.95. 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 £6.23. Offers well below £3.74 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 £9.79 (125), French £9.46 (37), English £7.72 (961). German fetches about 29 % 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.
