A PSA 10 currently sells for about £7,276, raw the card sits at £188.99 — 38,5× as much. Of 763 copies already graded, 6 % received a 10 and 20 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £1,264 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 38 auctions the median was £102.29, across 77 fixed-price sales £128.33. Fixed price therefore fetched about 25 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £74.19 and £128.33, with a median of £100.69. 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 £44.57. Offers well below £26.74 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

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.
