A PSA 10 currently sells for about £71.85, raw the card sits at £9.57 — 7.5× as much. Of 3.264 copies already graded, 45 % received a 10 and 42 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £42.48 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 98 auctions the median was £8.77, across 308 fixed-price sales £10.90. Fixed price therefore fetched about 24 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £8.41 and £11.56, with a median of £9.83. 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 £6.95. Offers well below £4.17 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 £21.45 (15), German £10.16 (64), English £9.09 (499). French fetches about 136 % 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.
