A PSA 10 currently sells for about £585.14, raw the card sits at £56.93 — 10,3× as much. Of 10.149 copies already graded, 19 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £163.19 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 293 auctions the median was £46.24, across 503 fixed-price sales £53.66. 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 £41.15 and £56.96, with a median of £49.09. 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 £34.00. Offers well below £20.40 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 £76.44 (17), English £53.41 (705), German £35.71 (48). Italian fetches about 114 % 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.
