A PSA 10 currently sells for about £154.05, raw the card sits at £37.17 — 4,1× as much. Of 3.469 copies already graded, 43 % received a 10 and 47 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £88.80 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 118 auctions the median was £30.05, across 287 fixed-price sales £36.66. Fixed price therefore fetched about 22 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £28.33 and £39.76, with a median of £33.97. 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 £20.18. Offers well below £12.11 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: Italian £45.12 (11), English £35.92 (500), German £19.47 (46). Italian fetches about 132 % 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.
