A PSA 10 currently sells for about £39.85, raw the card sits at £5.95 — 6,7× as much. Of 2.692 copies already graded, 38 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £22.52 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 72 auctions the median was £4.68, across 217 fixed-price sales £5.59. Fixed price therefore fetched about 19 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £4.53 and £6.45, with a median of £5.30. 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 £3.72. Offers well below £2.23 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 £11.05 (12), Italian £8.21 (22), English £5.24 (311). French fetches about 113 % 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.
