A PSA 10 currently sells for about £80.30, raw the card sits at £14.69 — 5,5× as much. Of 21.198 copies already graded, 60 % received a 10 and 36 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £58.95 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 66 auctions the median was £15.84, across 241 fixed-price sales £18.11. Fixed price therefore fetched about 14 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £13.81 and £18.33, with a median of £15.82. 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 £11.84. Offers well below £7.10 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 £15.06 (71), English £14.81 (288), Italian £11.39 (10). German fetches about 32 % 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.
