A PSA 10 currently sells for about £208.32, raw the card sits at £7.30 — 28.5× as much. Of 1.650 copies already graded, 25 % received a 10 and 54 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £75.20 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 24 auctions the median was £7.43, across 115 fixed-price sales £8.15. Fixed price therefore fetched about 10 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £6.56 and £9.05, with a median of £7.61. 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 £4.50. Offers well below £2.70 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: Italian £7.43 (15), English £7.32 (198). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

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.
