A PSA 10 currently sells for about £64.75, raw the card sits at £21.21 — 3,1× as much. Of 8.538 copies already graded, 47 % received a 10 and 44 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £42.77 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 136 auctions the median was £18.71, across 290 fixed-price sales £23.18. Fixed price therefore fetched about 24 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £17.98 and £23.72, with a median of £20.63. 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 £15.65. Offers well below £9.39 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 £19.11 (375), German £17.15 (29). English fetches about 11 % 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.
