A PSA 10 currently sells for about £455.55, raw the card sits at £34.14 — 13,3× as much. Of 4.347 copies already graded, 18 % received a 10 and 49 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £126.88 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 154 auctions the median was £33.06, across 408 fixed-price sales £38.34. 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 £30.48 and £42.93, with a median of £36.35. 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 £23.72. Offers well below £14.23 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 £34.13 (564), German £22.59 (45). English fetches about 51 % 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.
