A PSA 10 currently sells for about £114.64, raw the card sits at £14.83 — 7,7× as much. Of 9.938 copies already graded, 27 % received a 10 and 48 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £47.60 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 292 auctions the median was £14.61, across 754 fixed-price sales £17.01. Fixed price therefore fetched about 16 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £13.49 and £18.64, with a median of £15.53. 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 £11.45. Offers well below £6.87 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 £14.88 (136), English £13.84 (999), French £13.65 (36). German fetches about 34 % 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.
