A PSA 10 currently sells for about £81.54, raw the card sits at £21.78 — 3.7× as much. Of 7.280 copies already graded, 66 % received a 10 and 26 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £61.26 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 113 auctions the median was £20.03, across 365 fixed-price sales £23.44. Fixed price therefore fetched about 17 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £17.77 and £24.35, with a median of £20.87. 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 £14.67. Offers well below £8.80 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 £19.04 (420), German £17.43 (32). 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.
