A PSA 10 currently sells for about £48.53, raw the card sits at £13.36 — 3,6× as much. Of 4.100 copies already graded, 35 % received a 10 and 52 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £30.75 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 85 auctions the median was £13.18, across 284 fixed-price sales £17.00. Fixed price therefore fetched about 29 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £13.09 and £18.89, with a median of £15.44. 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 £11.13. Offers well below £6.68 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: German £13.71 (26), English £13.35 (391). 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.
