A PSA 10 currently sells for about £138.79, raw the card sits at £19.83 — 7,0× as much. Of 1.636 copies already graded, 79 % received a 10 and 15 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £117.53 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 269 auctions the median was £21.55, across 673 fixed-price sales £23.96. Fixed price therefore fetched about 11 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £17.46 and £25.51, with a median of £21.47. 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 £15.22. Offers well below £9.13 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: Italian £23.61 (38), English £19.83 (638), French £16.79 (99). Italian fetches about 79 % 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.
