A PSA 10 currently sells for about £94.37, raw the card sits at £7.11 — 13,3× as much. Of 7.563 copies already graded, 34 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £43.17 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 167 auctions the median was £6.51, across 728 fixed-price sales £7.47. Fixed price therefore fetched about 15 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £6.33 and £8.50, with a median of £7.27. 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 £5.10. Offers well below £3.06 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: French £9.63 (14), English £7.11 (964), German £4.68 (57). French fetches about 106 % 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.
