A PSA 10 currently sells for about £41.66, raw the card sits at £8.22 — 5.1× as much. Of 5.434 copies already graded, 44 % received a 10 and 46 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £27.33 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 66 auctions the median was £6.42, across 265 fixed-price sales £9.68. Fixed price therefore fetched about 51 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £7.97 and £11.17, with a median of £9.38. 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 £5.59. Offers well below £3.35 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 £7.96 (397), German £3.86 (29). English fetches about 106 % 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.
