A PSA 10 currently sells for about £27.62, raw the card sits at £8.06 — 3.4× as much. Of 3.463 copies already graded, 62 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £21.47 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 38 auctions the median was £6.32, across 221 fixed-price sales £7.84. 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 £6.65 and £8.83, with a median of £7.36. 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 £5.17. Offers well below £3.10 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 £7.10 (341), German £4.18 (10). English fetches about 70 % 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.
