A PSA 10 currently sells for about £356.64, raw the card sits at £106.78 — 3,3× as much. Of 78.340 copies already graded, 56 % received a 10 and 35 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £261.47 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 111 auctions the median was £97.23, across 328 fixed-price sales £117.14. Fixed price therefore fetched about 20 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £89.28 and £126.50, with a median of £110.54. 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 £68.88. Offers well below £41.33 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 £113.35 (384), German £68.03 (81). English fetches about 67 % 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.
