A PSA 10 currently sells for about £236.75, raw the card sits at £11.13 — 21.3× as much. Of 13.777 copies already graded, 23 % received a 10 and 55 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £73.37 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 56 auctions the median was £10.03, across 264 fixed-price sales £11.87. 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 £10.34 and £12.83, with a median of £11.64. 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 £8.70. Offers well below £5.22 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 £11.54 (10), English £10.55 (391), German £9.51 (44). French fetches about 21 % 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.
