A PSA 10 currently sells for about £149.75, raw the card sits at £65.09 — 2,3× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns £149.75 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 245 auctions the median was £42.44, across 477 fixed-price sales £43.70. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £22.59 and £33.95, with a median of £26.67. 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 £19.72. Offers well below £11.83 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 £58.22 (36), Japanese £33.93 (638). English fetches about 72 % 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.
