A PSA 10 currently sells for about £52.16, raw the card sits at £5.09 — 10,2× as much. Of 1.086 copies already graded, 71 % received a 10 and 22 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £43.41 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 150 auctions the median was £3.50, across 735 fixed-price sales £5.21. Fixed price therefore fetched about 49 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £3.52 and £7.13, with a median of £4.67. 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 £2.75. Offers well below £1.65 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: French £13.61 (28), German £7.64 (82), Italian £5.02 (35). French fetches about 174 % 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.
