A PSA 10 currently sells for about £11,534, raw the card sits at £614.79 — 18,8× as much. Mathematically, submitting returns £11,534 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 178 auctions the median was £115.25, across 239 fixed-price sales £138.92. Fixed price therefore fetched about 21 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £58.05 and £153.43, with a median of £93.20. 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 £38.04. Offers well below £22.83 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 £138.67 (481), German £102.04 (20). English fetches about 36 % 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.
