A PSA 10 currently sells for about £485.71, raw the card sits at £10.99 — 44,2× as much. Of 148 copies already graded, 11 % received a 10 and 33 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £87.67 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 21 auctions the median was £5.53, across 48 fixed-price sales £6.13. Fixed price therefore fetched about 11 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £4.29 and £9.54, with a median of £5.91. 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 £2.67. Offers well below £1.60 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 £7.40 (72), German £2.87 (12). English fetches about 158 % 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.
