A PSA 10 currently sells for about £62.70, raw the card sits at £11.36 — 5,5× as much. Of 3.191 copies already graded, 53 % received a 10 and 41 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £41.56 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 137 auctions the median was £9.49, across 330 fixed-price sales £11.63. Fixed price therefore fetched about 23 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £9.21 and £12.91, with a median of £10.94. 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 £7.47. Offers well below £4.48 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 £20.08 (51), Italian £14.29 (22), English £10.48 (493). German fetches about 92 % 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.
