A PSA 10 currently sells for about £371.14, raw the card sits at £23.72 — 15,6× as much. Of 1.227 copies already graded, 10 % received a 10 and 45 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £76.81 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 36 auctions the median was £19.35, across 144 fixed-price sales £22.96. 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 £15.74 and £23.72, with a median of £19.19. 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 £12.98. Offers well below £7.79 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: English £22.25 (323), German £12.75 (17). English fetches about 74 % 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.
