A PSA 10 currently sells for about £91.01, raw the card sits at £11.25 — 8,1× as much. Of 2.813 copies already graded, 35 % received a 10 and 51 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £43.60 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 49 auctions the median was £10.29, across 168 fixed-price sales £13.91. Fixed price therefore fetched about 35 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £10.98 and £15.56, with a median of £12.75. 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 £8.50. Offers well below £5.10 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: German £15.65 (36), English £10.78 (300). German fetches about 45 % 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.
