A PSA 10 currently sells for about £601.06, raw the card sits at £14.76 — 40,7× as much. Of 7.360 copies already graded, 14 % received a 10 and 53 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £128.09 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 81 auctions the median was £12.08, across 301 fixed-price sales £15.74. Fixed price therefore fetched about 30 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £11.11 and £17.77, with a median of £14.54. 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 £8.06. Offers well below £4.84 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 £14.80 (85), English £14.42 (421), German £10.20 (18). Italian fetches about 63 % 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.
