A PSA 10 currently sells for about £112.18, raw the card sits at £14.91 — 7,5× as much. Of 3.591 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 49 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £55.58 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 109 auctions the median was £14.04, across 267 fixed-price sales £17.63. 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 £13.38 and £18.16, with a median of £15.81. 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 £11.00. Offers well below £6.60 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 £13.17 (397), German £12.23 (36). 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.
