A PSA 10 currently sells for about £130.23, raw the card sits at £16.28 — 8,0× as much. Of 13.300 copies already graded, 46 % received a 10 and 42 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £85.87 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 17 auctions the median was £14.46, across 147 fixed-price sales £16.38. Fixed price therefore fetched about 13 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £13.54 and £18.17, with a median of £15.31. 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 £11.58. Offers well below £6.95 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 £16.63 (38), English £16.12 (126), Italian £12.59 (14). German fetches about 55 % 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.
