A PSA 10 currently sells for about £95.22, raw the card sits at £15.81 — 6,0× as much. Of 512 copies already graded, 59 % received a 10 and 27 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £64.67 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 112 auctions the median was £12.80, across 306 fixed-price sales £14.89. 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 £12.80 and £16.48, with a median of £14.61. 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 £10.84. Offers well below £6.51 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 £12.70 (392), German £12.13 (21). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
