A PSA 10 currently sells for about £11,538, raw the card sits at £150.45 — 76,7× as much. Of 2.556 copies already graded, 3 % received a 10 and 20 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £1,117 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 109 auctions the median was £62.92, across 250 fixed-price sales £81.57. Fixed price therefore fetched about 30 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £38.76 and £82.06, with a median of £57.78. 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 £27.53. Offers well below £16.52 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: German £76.76 (14), Italian £74.93 (10), English £62.18 (275). German fetches about 23 % 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.
