A PSA 10 currently sells for about £221.66, raw the card sits at £44.49 — 5,0× as much. Of 10.847 copies already graded, 37 % received a 10 and 54 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £115.58 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 184 auctions the median was £48.52, across 537 fixed-price sales £55.62. Fixed price therefore fetched about 15 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £42.52 and £57.79, with a median of £50.50. 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 £36.04. Offers well below £21.62 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 £57.32 (27), Italian £49.83 (14), English £47.18 (454). French fetches about 58 % 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.
