A PSA 10 currently sells for about £306.45, raw the card sits at £23.83 — 12,9× as much. Of 3.820 copies already graded, 20 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £89.46 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 87 auctions the median was £17.64, across 310 fixed-price sales £22.31. Fixed price therefore fetched about 26 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £17.70 and £26.68, with a median of £21.97. 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 £14.11. Offers well below £8.46 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 £22.25 (505), Italian £21.70 (23), French £15.94 (12). English fetches about 45 % 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.
