A PSA 10 currently sells for about £137.54, raw the card sits at £22.89 — 6,0× as much. Of 3.506 copies already graded, 51 % received a 10 and 41 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £88.01 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 79 auctions the median was £20.78, across 345 fixed-price sales £26.13. Fixed price therefore fetched about 26 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £18.36 and £26.41, with a median of £22.26. 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 £15.88. Offers well below £9.53 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 £21.59 (397), German £16.59 (36), French £9.01 (11). English fetches about 140 % 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.
