A PSA 10 currently sells for about £1,155, raw the card sits at £68.62 — 16,8× as much. Of 10.155 copies already graded, 13 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £223.02 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 84 auctions the median was £49.04, across 226 fixed-price sales £57.74. Fixed price therefore fetched about 18 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £44.53 and £60.67, with a median of £51.94. 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 £38.68. Offers well below £23.21 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: Italian £63.47 (38), English £49.03 (285), German £46.77 (21). Italian fetches about 36 % 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.
