A PSA 10 currently sells for about £286.03, raw the card sits at £42.28 — 6,8× as much. Of 4.668 copies already graded, 35 % received a 10 and 54 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £132.13 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 42 auctions the median was £28.53, across 209 fixed-price sales £36.15. Fixed price therefore fetched about 27 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £26.78 and £38.04, with a median of £31.89. 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 £21.26. Offers well below £12.75 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: English £41.88 (181), German £21.01 (23). English fetches about 99 % 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.
