A PSA 10 currently sells for about £266.27, raw the card sits at £10.63 — 25,1× as much. Of 1.041 copies already graded, 24 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £84.93 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 296 auctions the median was £9.91, across 918 fixed-price sales £11.79. 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 £9.23 and £13.72, with a median of £11.23. 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 £7.34. Offers well below £4.40 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: English £10.44 (1188), German £8.12 (148), French £8.10 (47). English fetches about 78 % 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.
