A PSA 10 currently sells for about £57.71, raw the card sits at £16.86 — 3,4× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns £57.71 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.

Across 192 auctions the median was £21.22, across 379 fixed-price sales £19.90. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £14.69 and £20.48, with a median of £16.96. 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 £12.03. Offers well below £7.22 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 £16.86 (31), Japanese £14.95 (622). English fetches about 13 % 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.
