A PSA 10 currently sells for about £31.90, raw the card sits at £2.96 — 10,8× as much. Of 2.469 copies already graded, 53 % received a 10 and 38 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £23.29 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 47 auctions the median was £2.74, across 232 fixed-price sales £3.58. Fixed price therefore fetched about 30 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £2.81 and £4.23, with a median of £3.42. 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 £2.23. Offers well below £1.34 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: Italian £3.61 (10), German £3.39 (48), English £2.96 (400). Italian fetches about 22 % 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.
